I'm testing this and sending mail works fine, but a bit slow (I wait for few minutes for mail to arrive, but this is ok).
The thing is, how can I check my settings for bounce mail?
What I did is this:
I have dedicated server with Plesk. I created special mail account for bounced mail, and I use it for SMTP sending (that works, as I mentioned already). This side is fine.
I entered information in DragonByte Tech: vBMail - Bounced Mail Settings that would use this account, for host I tried localhost, 127.0.0.1, mail.myserver.com (exact address).
I tested port by logging to server and running command elnet localhost 143 with result:
telnet localhost 143
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.

This means it's ok and it is on port 143.
I'm sent some test mails on this mail address, just to test bounced mail (as I set it to manual handling). I also set account in my mail program, using IMAP. In my mail account I see mail I sent for testing purposes. It's there. I see mail in webmail program on my server.
But I couldn't see any mail when I use Bounced Mail List option. I played with dates too, I tried everything.
Mail is on my mail server, I see it with my mail program, but I couldn't see it with vBMail. What I'm doing wrong? As I understand, if I see mail there with my mail program and webmail on my server, vBmail should see it too. So, it's some option, or bug, not really sure, but couldn't see my mail for testing bounced mail.

Ok, found the answer.
Mail is collected by cron job, when I search for mail, it searches only mail collected with cron job, not directly from server. I needed to run cron job manually and it collected my test mails.
That confused me.
Everything works now.
