You removed PostgreSQL?  Ok.  What are you using for preferences and/or
session management now?  You should have SQL or shared memory set up
for sessions at least.

I can't say.  I see you set the protocol from IMAP to POP.  Have you
looked at the pop server's logs to see if a connection is being made
between the two systems?  Can you telnet to the mail server from the
IMP server and verify connections?  Here's how:

POP session:
	You type:	telnet <your-mail-server> 110
	Server says:	+OK <pop server welcome message>
	You type:	user <whoever>
	Server says:	+OK Password needed for whoever
	You type:	pass <password>
	Server says:	+OK whoever has x messages (n octets)
	You type:	quit
	Server says:	+OK <pop server logout message>

IMAP session:
	You type:	telnet <your-mail-server> 143
	Server says:	<imap server welcome message>
	You type:	1 login <username> <password>
	Server says:	1 OK LOGIN completed
	You type:	2 logout
	Server says:	* BYE <server logout message>
			2 OK LOGOUT completed

If your mail is only being used internally (local delivery), you don't 
need DNS but you must remove the "@domain" stuff from the destination
address.

If you intend to send mail outside of your domain, you MUST have DNS
as sendmail must look up the MX records for the destination domain in
order to send the mail to the destination's mail server.  The trigger
for this is the "@" in the name.
