Cliff... in the source directory type
./configure -help
also be sure to "configure" and "make" as a regular user but "make install" as root.

Andy,
I'll take your word for it. I can't find those configure options in the documentation.

Cliff... you need to specify the install directory when you configure. I would recommend including the version number in the directory name to make it easier to keep track of versions. I also place the config file in a "shared" directory like /etc so I can use the same config file for any version. Again, you have to make sure there are no config incompatabilities between versions before you switch. Here's what I did on a Solaris host but you should be able to do this on Fedora. Common file locations may be different on Linux vs. Solaris hosts but the idea is the same.
Example installing under /opt options here as needed for your install)
- ./configure --prefix=/opt/dovecot-1.0.a5 --sysconfdir=/etc (add other
- make
- make install
- cd /opt
- ln -s dovecot-1.0a5 dovecot
- edit your start/stop scripts to look at /opt/dovecot and NOT /opt/dovecot-1.0a5
