Hi Charles,

I did get this working using the sql I posted to the list earlier. I will
make sure I post dovecot -n from now .

Just for the record:

      mode: 384
      user: vmail

dovecot --version
1.0.15

I am running Debain Etch (4r9)

An apt-get shows me it is already the newest version.

I want to make sure I am running the latest stable release ... What is the
best way to manually upgrade to the version you suggested?

P.
