DigitalOcean email server with outlook error

Posted on May 12, 2014

Hi, I have a virtualserver (digital ocean) with ubuntu I am installing a mail server and I have a little problem

  • I installed and configured postfix
  • I installed Dovecot
  • Dovecot.conf “protocols = imap pop3”
  • I send emails using the console ‬ ‪ # sendmail
  • I receive emails sent from a gmail
  • Create an account prueba@midom.com THE problem: When I go from Outlook to manage emails, I get an error “Log on to incoming mail server (POP3)” and “Sign in to the incoming POP3 mail server: the mailbox is temporarily unavailable because it is sending another message to this email or this obtiendo other applications access the same mail.”

Thank you.
