how to change user passwords (Was: OK sorry for hijacking/ was not aware of it.)

As you have problems with subjects on-topic with bodies I changed it :-P

The telnet to remote manager is the way to go.

You say "could not get in": doesn't it accept the password or does it 
reject the connection?

Somewhere in <jameshome>/apps/james/SAR-INF/config.xml there is a 
"<remotemanager enabled="true">" block.
In that xml block you can read the port RemoteManager listen to, wether 
it is enabled or not and the username/password used to login.

POP3 specification does not say anything about this.
You should ask other questions to Merak support (I, and probably others 
here, never used it).

-----
fetchmail Caveats

The POP3 protocol does not enforce support of any of the Flags 
associated with messages other than DELETED. This means that 
markseen="true" will most likely have no effect and therefore, the 
fetchall tag will be inoperative. In this situation, the only way to 
avoid repeatedly fetching the same mail is to delete it from the server 
using leaveonserver="false"/>.

in INBOX a copy of message for each recipient

Posted by Davide Dalla Rosa <d....@pollisrl.it>.
Hi all. My installation of James retrieves mail from an external pop3 server
(Merak pop3, 8.9.1) and routes to lan.
The external pop3 server puts in INBOX folder a copy of the message for each
recipient, e.g. if some mail gets into merak with recipients tizio, caio and
sempronio (TO, CC, BCC, ...), merak puts in INBOX folder copies of the
message.
Is this behaviour pop3 protocol compliant? Does anybody knows if you can
configure this behaviour? i.e. set some flag in mekar telling it to put in
INOBX only a copy of the message?

Other strange thing is that accoding to James, merak mail server does not
support "permanent SEEN flag".
"Message marked as SEEN, but the folder does not support a permanent SEEN
flag".
What this mean?

thanks

Run "telnet localhost 4555" from a shell inside the VNC controlled server.

PS: I think you really should better look for a sysadmin.
