Email Works via IMAP But Not POP3 – cPanel
This problem is probably happening because the wrong POP3 server is running. To fix this, follow these instructions:
1) Login to your Linux box via SSH as root.
2) Run the following command:
vi /etc/xinetd.d/popa3d
3) Locate the line ‘disable = no’.
4) Change the line to read ‘disable = yes’.
5) Save and close the file by pressing ‘esc’ and typing ‘:wq’.
6) Now restart the xinetd service: ‘service xinetd restart’.
7) Login to WHM and navigate to: WHM > Restart Services > Select the Link ‘POP3 Server (cppop)’.
When prompted to restart the service, select ‘Yes’.
You should now be able to access your cPanel email via POP3.
