Alright, I just set up POP3 and STMP on a Win2k3 Server machine, and everything looked like it went just fine. The problem is, I can't login to the POP3 or STMP server with any mail client I've tried. I know the uname/pass are correct, and I've tried different security settings, but the result stays the same. I have it set to use local accounts as mailboxes. Can someone steer me in the right direction to get this working, please?

Perhaps a firewall? Have you looked at the logs? Try testing SMTP
