FYI it seems dovecot 2.0.8 fails to start on RHEL5 with IPv6 disabled ("alias net-pf-10 off" in modprobe.conf) unless one specify "listen = *".

i.e., without "listen = *" it complains:

Error: service(pop3-login): listen(::, 110) failed: Address already in use
Error: service(pop3-login): listen(::, 995) failed: Address already in use
Error: service(imap-login): listen(::, 143) failed: Address already in use
Error: service(imap-login): listen(::, 993) failed: Address already in use
Error: service(director): listen(::, 5515) failed: Address already in use

which at minimum is a confusing error message...
