Hello all,
I'm trying to connect to a dovecot server I've just installed, using evolution. And I'm not having any success:
starshine# tail -f /var/log/dovecot.log

All evolution tells me is that an error occurred. I have no idea what
the problem is here. The server is on mail.parts-unknown.org if you
wish to try to connect to it. And yes, it is actually running:
starshine# ps aux | grep dovecot
root 3072 0.0 0.0 2072 580 ? Ss 16:40
0:00 /usr/sbin/dovecot
root 3073 0.0 0.1 9000 2148 ? S 16:40 0:00
dovecot-auth
root 3559 0.0 0.0 3004 748 pts/0 R+ 16:48 0:00 grep
dovecot
starshine#
I installed it from the Ubuntu package (hardy heron) and it is:
starshine# dovecot --version
1.0.10
starshine#
I'm simply mystified. What now?
