What version of Dovecot are you using? Have you read through http://wiki.dovecot.org/WhyDoesItNotWork ?
i am new in this. anyone can help??? appreciate ur reply....
I don't know this 'subsys locked' thing printed by your init script. Have you tried doing '/etc/init.d/dovecot restart'?
And do check out the dovecot.org page I just linked.
