Dovecot : 2.0.19 (see config at http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=KMaQ9Ccc) Postfix : 2.9.6 (see config at http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=EEeevHfk)
I'm trying to get Dovecot and Postfix working on Ubuntu 12.04LTS but am not having much luck.
The problem is that although mail gets delivered to the correct place, however pointing a MUA of any description at Dovecot just yields a purportedly empty inbox !
I will first demonstrate correct delivery of mail, then I will show MUA - domain names changed to protect the innocent !
