[Dovecot] How to get a working dovecot.conf?

[Oddball]

Hi,

As a matter of fact no..
I am sort of new to commandline, and i find it extremely difficult to
find my way between all howto's.. to know which command to use where,
and when.... but i am learning
I have taken a look at dovecot-sql.conf, and saw a few possibilities, or
options:
the path to the databasefile, from which i think it should be:

connect = /etc/dovecot/authdb.sqlite

default_pass_scheme = MD5

but then, i am lost. it atm looks like abracadabra to me..

at the end of the file is the config of ISPConfig:

driver = mysql
connect = host=localhost dbname=dbispconfig user=ispconfig
password=50b0152ba02189a94881c371ef1ef128
default_pass_scheme = CRYPT

password_querry = SELECT password FROM mail_user WHERE email = '%u' AND
disable%Ls = 'n'
user_querry = SELECT email as user, maildir as home, CONCAT('maildir:',
maildir,'/Maildir') as mail, uid, gid, CONCAT('maildir:storage=',
floor(quota/1024))AS quota, CONCAT(maildir, '/.sieve') as sieve FROM
mail_user WHERE email = '%u' AND disable%Ls = 'n'

at this moment i would not know what i should write here when i want to
login from squirrelmail...
AND most important: how to create a user and password at the right place...

thnx for your attention...

Rob.
