Hello all,
I'm trying to connect to a dovecot server I've just installed, using evolution. And I'm not having any success:
starshine# tail -f /var/log/dovecot.log dovecot: 2008-04-16 20:11:37 Info: Dovecot v1.0.10 starting up dovecot: 2008-04-17 16:40:30 Warning: Killed with signal 15 dovecot: 2008-04-17 16:40:30 Info: Dovecot v1.0.10 starting up
starshine# man dovecot starshine# dovecot -n # 1.0.10: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf log_path: /var/log/dovecot.log log_timestamp: %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S protocols: none
That tells Dovecot not to be an IMAP or POP server at all, but only an auth facility.
