I recommend you backup your existing configuration first, then try and replace it. Like so:
$ cd /etc/dovecot/ $ cp dovecot.conf dovecot.conf-backup-v1 $ dovecot -n > dovecot-new.conf (compare dovecot-new.conf, make sure it looks sane) $ mv dovecot-new.conf dovecot.conf
Now restart the daemon. It is very important that you backup the existing configuration in case and also that you think about what each command does before entering it.
Thanks. I copied the config that was in dovecot-new.conf into dovecot.conf. Now when I attempt to login, it tells me it can't find my SSL certificates when they're clearly there. Is there something special I need to do in /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-ssl.conf? My mail.key and mail.crt are correctly pathed in my now correct dovecot.conf file:
# 2.0.1: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf auth_mechanisms = plain login mail_location = maildir:~/mail passdb { driver = pam } protocols = imap service auth { unix_listener auth-client { group = postfix mode = 0660 user = postfix } user = root } ssl_cert = /etc/ssl/certs/mail.crt ssl_key = /etc/ssl/private/mail.key userdb { driver = passwd } protocol imap { imap_client_workarounds = delay-newmail tb-extra-mailbox-sep }
