Testin new installation

[Steve Matzura]

The first place I went to for test advice and planning recommendations
was http://wiki2.dovecot.org/TestInstallation - The very first test
failed. Doc says:

Next check that Dovecot is listening for connections: 

# telnet localhost 143
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.
* OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 LITERAL+ SASL-IR LOGIN-REFERRALS ID ENABLE
STARTTLS AUTH=PLAIN] Dovecot ready.

If you got "connection refused", make sure that Dovecot is configured
to serve the imap protocol and listening on the expected
interfaces/addresses. The
simplest way to do that would be using 
doveconf(1):

# doveconf protocols listen
protocols = imap pop3 lmtp sieve
listen = *, ::

If the protocols setting shouldn't contain imap so add it. Also make
sure, that relevant !include or !try_include configuration lines are
not commented.

*** End doc extract ***

All of the above specified settings are correct. Yet, when I telnet
localhost 143, I get:

Trying ::1... # this is certainly suspect
Escape character is '^['.
Connection closed by foreign host.
