Bad news for me... fesity-backports doesn't have a more recient
version of dovecot than the one i have installed...
Before starting this thread i googled for this issue and one person
said that he installed dovecot imap server (although he, as i do, only
needed dovecot-auth) and the error went away.
I will try this and see what happens... hope it doesn't break
something with my courier imap that's running on the server...
