We are very sorry you are not satisfied with the software.  Please feel 
free to return the software for a full refund of all the money you paid.

If you do not like the multiple config files, you can always combine them.

Documentation is online at http://www.dovecot.org/documentation.html

Welcome to the world of open source.  Software is provided through the 
generous contributions of many people, all of whom have regular jobs and 
do this because they enjoy it.  With open source, if there is something 
you do not like, you can change the software to your liking.  Try that 
with proprietary software.

And just a friendly word of advice: change your attitude or you will 
find your cries fall on deaf ears.
