Sending Email via pop3 doesnt work

Larry0815

Hi,
I've installed on my dads computer gentoo. So now I have installed evolution as email client.
My problem is that I can't connect to the pop-Server. I have the same problem with ftp too.Says "Connection refused..."
The internet connection is working because I can browse webpage.

So why can I access web pages,but cant send emails or connect to a ftp :?:

Would be great, if somebody could help me

I'm no email wiz but doesn't mail get via smtp? Is there some kind of firewall running restricting pop and ftp ports?

Hi,

I solved the problem. The problem was, in my resolv.conf was the IP of my router. And how it looks my router can only resolve the ip's of the http protocol. Now I have changed the ip's to the DNS server of my internet provider. Now ftp and pop3 are working too.
