I've install Dovecot 2.0.11-1 on my Linux server and all the guides and tutorials I've found on Google don't work since I'm running 2.x and it seems most guides were done with 1.x. I've opened up the configuration file /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf & from what I can see, this is all I could come up with:
protocols = imap listen = * base_dir = /var/run/dovecot login_greeting = Server ready. mail_location = maildir:~/mail
I obviously want / need IMAP4 access ONLY and not POP3. I've got only 12 local Linux shell users and all authentication is done by I think PAM. My friend sent me his configuration file to see if it would work on Dovecot 2.x however I don't think it does:
auth_mechanisms = plain login mail_location = maildir:~/mail passdb { driver = pam } protocols = imap service auth { unix_listener auth-client { group = postfix mode = 0660 user = postfix } user = root } ssl_cert =
Can anyone please tell me what I need to add to get this very basic IMAP server up and running?
