5 hours of configuration attempts, error after confusing error, documentation with examples that only show extracts of working configurations. I really feel like throwing in the towel with dovecot.
It should not be this hard and frankly almost impossible to understand and configure for such an incedibly simple configuration.
/home/vmail/domain.name/username/cur /home/vmail/domain.name/username/new /home/vmail/domain.name/username/tmp
3 virtual users. All I want is a username and password to access my email.
I have to have hit every error and problem there can be. No response at all from server, unable to find password file, unable to recognise user, invalid password. God it went on and on and on for five or more hours. For such a simple config.
I know this is a totally unconstructive complaint and I should be taking the time to set out a careful explanation of my problem along with errors and logfiles but I just can't be bothered. I've tried so many many configurations and options and nothing works. How can it possibly be this hard to ghet some emails off the server with simple username/password configurations.
Go ahead and flame me to a crisp.
