To remedy this, run this command as root:
# chown -R username:groupname ~username/Maildir
Be sure to replace username and groupname with the login name and primary group
of the user. In a stock Debian system, the primary group name will be the same as the
username.

it could be that the Courier authdaemon service is not running. Try to start (or

Configuring Mail Clients
Any mail client with support for POP3 or IMAP should be able to access mail from your server.
Just use the name of your server in the mail server settings, and follow the troubleshooting steps in
the previous section if something doesn??™t work.
You can find more information about mail clients for Linux in Chapter 22.
Configuring Fetchmail
Fetchmail is an MRA (mail retrieval agent) that you can use to pull mail from a remote account to
your new server. It is configured in the $HOME/.fetchmailrc file and is very easy to set up. To
pull mail to your server, log in as the user that the mail should go to, and then configure and run it
from there.
Run Fetchmail as the user for whom the mail is being retrieved. You should never run it
as root.
