E-mail clients & webmail not working (pop3 seems ok)

[PsychoSteve]

Am having a strange problem, have got a new box with Plesk8.1 (linux) installed on it - I have configured a domain with e-mail and have pointedmy outlook to the server with the username & password I specified. Neither Outlook nor Horde webmail will log in with the username/password specified - however telnetting to the server on port 110 allows me to log in fine :-

+OK Hello there. <14523.1167303927@localhost.localdomain>
user steve@mydomain.co.uk
+OK Password required.
pass password
+OK logged in.

This makes no sence - I put the same login details into the Outlook & Horde, have tried restarting the services and delete/re-create the user & domain - nothing helps.

What's going on??

Hello,

What do the error logs show?

Thanks for the reply, but it turned out the problem was due to a HDD & NIC dying at the same time - new hardware is now being ordered.
