Look at the logs for the exact reason why auth process died. http://wiki.dovecot.org/Logging
The error log, each time I try to start Dovecot from a command line, has these two lines appended:
dovecot: Jun 21 12:16:23 Error: Socket already exists: /usr/local/var/run/dovecot/dict-server dovecot: Jun 21 12:16:24 Fatal: Auth process died too early - shutting down
Following the december 2007 thread between you and Ronny:
http://dovecot.markmail.org/search/?q=cygwin+2nd
...I tried to start dovecot via inetd rather than command line, and now I seem to be stuck at exactly the same point. Dovecot starts, but when I telnet localhost 143 I see:
Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to localhost. Escape character is '^]'. Fatal: EOF while reading environment from master Connection closed by foreign host.
By the way, if I restart inetd and try to telnet again I get this (just like Ronny):
Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to localhost. Escape character is '^]'. Fatal: write_full(master_fd) failed: Transport endpoint is not connected Connection closed by foreign host.
Cleaning the /usr/local/var/run/dovecot directory works for me, too.
Now, was there anything to try at this point? The old thread just stopped here.. :-(
