Thanks a lot for your quick response.
I thought that dovecot won't start until the server time reaches the time before the "time jump".
From your point of view dovecot will start normally if I adjust the time when dovecot is stopped?
Thanks a lot for clarification.

Hi,
I have the issue that my server clock is 45min fast. Therefore I would like to install ntp. I read a lot on the internet about dovecot and ntp. My issue is that 45 min are a lot an I would like to minimize mail server downtimes as much as possible. I don't care if the time corrections with ntp takes more than a few month.
Does anyone know how I should proceed (e.g. how I have to setup ntp -> no time jump during installation and afterwards).
stop dovecot & postfix ntpdate timeserver start dovecot & postfix start ntpd
the time jump is only really critical when the programs are running.
