First timer, I'm installing dovecot-2.0.15.

I ran configure; make; sudo make install

The INSTALL file then says:

Rename configuration file:

mv /usr/local/etc/dovecot-example.conf /usr/local/etc/dovecot.conf

Read through, and make needed modifications.

The example configuration file is not installed in that location. Presumably it is now installed as /usr/local/share/doc/dovecot/example-config/dovecot.conf

Unless this path difference is a quirk of my local system, the INSTALL directions should be fixed to avoid confusion.

Thanks, -J
