I installed dovecot using darwinports. The version installed is 0.99.10.5. (It's running well enough to tell me that when I do a: sudo /opt/local/sbin/dovecot --version
That's pretty old version.
Before trying to tweak the configuration file, I wanted first to get dovecot to run. When I first launched it, it told me that there was no dovecot user. After searching for a while, I finally found how to create one (and a dovecot group as well), doing the following:
sudo niutil -create / /groups/dovecot ..
Looks difficult, I think I just used the GUI tools :)
zsh: bus error sudo /opt/local/sbin/dovecot
Crashes for some reason. I'd suggest trying newer Dovecot version. I know the latest 1.0-tests work, although after configure you'll have to remove HAVE_MADVISE-line from config.h to avoid warnings about madvise() failures.
