Hello all,
I'm trying to connect to a dovecot server I've just installed, using evolution. And I'm not having any success:
starshine# tail -f /var/log/dovecot.log dovecot: 2008-04-16 20:11:37 Info: Dovecot v1.0.10 starting up dovecot: 2008-04-17 16:40:30 Warning: Killed with signal 15 dovecot: 2008-04-17 16:40:30 Info: Dovecot v1.0.10 starting up
starshine# man dovecot starshine# dovecot -n # 1.0.10: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf log_path: /var/log/dovecot.log log_timestamp: %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S protocols: none login_dir: /var/run/dovecot/login login_executable: /usr/lib/dovecot/imap-login mail_privileged_group: mail mail_location: maildir:~/Maildir:INBOX=~/failed-to-sort-Maildir:INDEX=% h/imap-folders namespace: type: private separator: / prefix: folders/ location: ~/imap-folders inbox: yes auth default: verbose: yes debug: yes debug_passwords: yes passdb: driver: pam userdb: driver: passwd starshine#
All evolution tells me is that an error occurred. I have no idea what the problem is here. The server is on mail.parts-unknown.org if you wish to try to connect to it. And yes, it is actually running:
starshine# ps aux | grep dovecot root 3072 0.0 0.0 2072 580 ? Ss 16:40 0:00 /usr/sbin/dovecot root 3073 0.0 0.1 9000 2148 ? S 16:40 0:00 dovecot-auth root 3559 0.0 0.0 3004 748 pts/0 R+ 16:48 0:00 grep dovecot starshine#
I installed it from the Ubuntu package (hardy heron) and it is:
starshine# dovecot --version 1.0.10 starshine#
I'm simply mystified. What now?
