Ok. I made some changes: wadesmart@wadesmart:~$ sudo dovecot -n Password: # /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf log_timestamp: %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S protocols: imap disable_plaintext_auth: no login_dir: /var/run/dovecot/login login_executable: /usr/lib/dovecot/imap-login mail_extra_groups: mail mail_location: ~/Maildir maildir_copy_with_hardlinks: yes auth default: passdb: driver: passwd-file args: /etc/dovecot/passwd.dovecot wadesmart@wadesmart:~$
This is straight from the quickstart guide. When I started dovecot I received: $sudo dovecot Fatal: listen(143) failed: Address already in use
Do or can I then move to another port?

This is my personal system and I use fetchmail and postfix to get and store my mail. All Im wanting to do is to access my email in maildir format. I am new to linux and definitely to this type of setup. Since this is my own system all these talk about security measures seem a bit overboard for my needs.
I guess what Im really asking is for a more simple setup instruction set.
