Those 2 links are too much.
Go here: http://wiki.dovecot.org/HowTo
And here: http://www.linuxmail.info/ <--- Dovecot + postfix
That's all you need.

Hi,
is there a *simple* HOWTO that explains a simple postfix+dovecot setup? Up to now, I used postfix+cyrus, worked fine. But I do not get postfix+dovecot to work. Currently, all emails go to /dev/null.
What really would help me is a dovecot lmtp server. Is there any?

Olaf,
I'm quite new to both postfix and dovecot. This probably does not qualify as "simple" but I found this link helpful:
