I've followed this guide on setting up a mail server on my dedicated server. I've been able to send mails from the
php application I'm using and the linux commandline (using telnet,
php, etc).
The problem is that I cannot connect to the server via IMAP/POP which I've setup using Courier. I've tried using thunderbird but it complains that the username or password is wrong. I doubt it is the username/password but I don't know how to trouble shoot this.
Edit:
Here's the messages in mail.log:
