If all worked so far - you should be able to send email to any regular user on vm3 using the email address yourusername@yoursenecaid.org using Thunderbird on vm2.
Create a new account on vm3 using only your first name. We'll use this for receiving email. It's rather important that you don't create this account on vm2 - so that you continue to see the difference between the sending and receiving SMTP servers. We still haven't set up IMAP (for reading email) but we can test that the message is being delivered. Send Use the new account in Thunderbird to send an email to yourself (from yourself) firstname@yoursenecaid.org and then check the contents of /home/yourusernamefirstname/Maildir/new/ on vm3. - there should be a file there with the contents of your email.
If there isn't one - check the log file /var/log/maillog to see what went wrong.
If you got it - this is a good time to stop and ponder how it all worked. You've gone through setting up a lot of services. Look at the diagram at the top of the page - which services have you set up?
