I'm running MDaemon and I have two domains on my machine. POPFile with IMAP can check an email account on the primary (default) domain without problem, but it seems POPFile cannot login to my account on the secondary domain, even if I enter that domain name as "IMAP server hostname"...

I figured that POPFile tries to use the primary domain as it's the default one. Perhaps it translates the name to the IP address, and the IP address is the same for both domains.
johan@primarydomain.se works ok
johan@secondarydomain.se does not work, instead it actually checks the mail at johan@primarydomain.se!!

Translations of domain names to IP addresses aren't done by POPFile itself. That's the job of the OS. What happens if you ping the secondary domain? What IP address is used?

It's the same IP address for both: 192.168.0.3 (I'm behind a router).
I solved the problem though, by changing the domains in MDaemon, ie I made my secondary domain the primary one, and vice versa. Now POPFile scans my mail ok, but of course the bug is still there, it just doesn't bother me any more since I'm using POPFile for just my own account in that domain.

How should POPFile be able to distinguish those two domains when they point to the same IP address?
You might have realized that I'm far from being an expert on these network issues. Could it be that you have two different network interfaces on your machine and the IMAP module isn't using the correct one?

I don't know how POPFile should distinguish between the domains... can't you just give the domain name to the IMAP interface?
I'm using the WorldClient MAPI webmail software on the same machine, and logging in to the two domains there works fine, you just enter the full mail address as login (ie incl. domain), and the password.

Why not? Any clues from the log file?

No it's just one network interface.

The IMAP module uses the host name just the way you specify it on the configuration page. The rest is done by Perl or your OS.
Sorry, but I wouldn't know how to help here.

the current popfile IMAP module only access folders in a single account on a single host are you trying to have it access multiple accounts or hosts?
