Problem with Postfix's POP3

This is probably a rather basic question, but still...

I'm using the latest release of Ubuntu, Feisty Fawn. It's all installed fine and dandy. I've got Postfix running, along with administrating it via Webmin.

SMTP works perfectly relaying to any address you like, but my Outlook - on the local network, specifying the domain name or just the local machine/local IP - will not find the POP3 server.

It should just be either "zoidberg" (machine) or "zoidberg.co.xx" (domain), but neither work.

Postfix is supposedly fully up and running according to the system status within Webmin.

Is the config setup wrongly, or am I missing something vital? No settings I change to try and log onto the server, even logging on securely, seem to change it - it's just not there!

Any ideas?
 
you need some pop3 server installed and running
 
Okay, I've setup Dovecot, but it won't recognise my username/pass. Any idea?
