Sorry, I'm confused as to whether you're trying to do this all on an
internal LAN or from internet -> 'home server'...
You need to specify what interfaces courier listens on and accepts. You
also need to add into /etc/hosts.allow (or you equivalent) to permit
access to the ipop3d daemon:
ipop3d: 192.168.1.
or
ipop3d: ALL
or whatever. (Trailing "." is significant)
Also beware, your id and password are sent in plain text with pop3! Use
pop3s or much better, imaps.
Good luck,
Martin
