[Evolution-users] Receive mail directly on my own computer

[Van Snyder]

I'd like to set up to receive mail directly on my own computer, not
from a server at gmail or yahoo.

I installed postfix. I think I configured /etc/postfix/main.cf properly
(it asked me stuff when I installed it).

I poked holes in the firewall on my router for ports 25, 587, 465, 143,
and 993. I don't know whether those are all necessary, or whether none
of them are the correct one.

When I push the Send/Receive button in Evolution and select a newly
created account for that purpose, it says "connection refused."

When I send mail to it and try to read it in XTerm with "mail" it says
there isn't any.

Do you have some quick advice?

Or what's a good simple tutorial to read?
