More details would be helpful. Exactly, what do you mean when you say it doesn't work? Does it fail to launch? Does it fail to send/receive?

ok i got email don`t know exactly what i did but i am writing this down for further investigation for myself
1st i went to my isp and looked over all settings changed pop3 to pop
in user settings changed port settings for incoming and outgoing mail
still did not work
2nd i went to this site, https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/serverg.../firewall.html
and did second line in terminal thing in there instructions
did not work
3rd i did the 5 th line in terminal and started recieving email

ive tried to disable ufw before and it did not work for sending and recieving email
and i also removed ufw from 10.10 maverick meerkat and it almost hosed the whole system
not solved yet still testing over next week
