Who says you have to install it?

Almost all the fora which are speaking of setting up a mail server tell me to install Dovecot

And who is it that you think owes you 'descent support' for free?

When and where did I spoke about FREE? I never said I didn't want to pay for it!!! Please don't think for me...

That said, the support on the dovecot list is the best I've seen, even when people get attitudes (like yours)...

Attitudes? Since when is a normal business inquiry not appropriate?

If you want to learn linux, and learn how to admin a mail server, you're expected to do some leg work yourself... no one expects you to be a guru, but a little googling on how to change ownership of files in linux would most likely answer this particular question.

Sorry, but the answers on this mail group are written with as few words as possible - if it was written in Finnish, I'd understand just as much as I do now. Googling on a Dovecot problems results always in www.dovecot.org or one of its child sites. Always. Googling on a Linux question results always in experts-exchange. Always.

Also, the attititude will most likely get surprising little response. If you want to get help from someone for free, it helps to ask nicely.

I don't agree. I know the way of asking isn't the most nice way - and I also apologise to them, who assisted me! But who cares if I agree with someone, who didn't assist me at all, but who only is capable of writing negatively about me?

Thats said, I wouldn't be surprised if Timo responds nicely anyway... I've seen him respond to much worse emails than yours, and yours was pretty bad...

Pretty bad? You misunderstood me, my friend. Try to read reasonable next time. That helps!
