This sounds great, but I'm struggeling to get it working... It complains
about:

$ doveadm -v mailbox status -u user at example.com unseen inbox
doveadm(user at example.com): Error: userdb lookup: connect(/usr/local/dovecot-2.0.9/var/run/dovecot/auth-userdb) failed: No such file or directory
doveadm(user at example.com): Fatal: User lookup failed: Internal error occurred. Refer to server log for more information.

Will I need to have the dovecot-2 daemon running for this to work ?


My config was quickly converted from v1.2 by "dovecot -n > new.conf"
and very little modifications..

Also tried a minimal dovecot.conf:

$ ../../sbin/dovecot -n

# OS: Linux 2.6.9-89.0.9.ELsmp x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES

mail_uid = 3000
mmap_disable = yes
ssl = no
userdb {
  args = /usr/local/dovecot2/etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf
  driver = ldap
}

But get the exact same errors..
