If I leave the "listen" value as the default in /etc/dovecot.conf I'll get a message similar to the following on each port that it tries to open during startup:
# dovecot -F Fatal: listen(::, 143) failed: Address already in use
If I set either: listen = *
or listen = [::]
then it will start up fine. Perhaps it is as though the code tries to open the port twice for both ip4 and ip6?
I can't reproduce this with current hg. Could you try if this still happens with nightly snapshots? If it does, dovecot -n output might show something useful. Oh and what OS are you using?
