That may be so, but %RandmonGuide% on the internet is notorious for
having missing/wrong information in it, causing you all kinds of
problems you wouldn't have had had you simply used the official
documentation.

Start with one of the HowTo's/Examples/Tutorials on the official site
that most closely fits your desired install, get your system up and
running, work through any problems that you can using the official docs,
then come here and ask specific questions for any problems you can't
seem to get past. The help here is the best I've seen on any open source
project, so you won't have any problem finding correct answers/solutions.

Also, you would be well advised to start with the latest stable release
(currently 1.2.3), and always provide essential info, like config
details (dovecot -n output), full logs exhibiting problem, etc...
