Re: [Dovecot] How do i load a configfile ?
which does everything itself
without loading the config file it dosen't do anything - i can connect to the server but thats all. how should the server know where i store my mboxes etc.
i must load the config file - but how ?

hello,
this may be a very stupid question but how do i load a config file? i didn't find the docs part which explains how to start the imapserver at all.
There's two possibilities: Run the "dovecot" binary which does everything itself, or start imap-login from inetd.
server = /usr/local/dovecot/imapSo imap-login here :)

I'm not sure what you mean. dovecot reads the config file from installed_prefix/etc/dovecot.conf file (ie. usually /usr/local/etc/dovecot.conf). imap-login executes dovecot which does that too.

thats what i asked, thanks - in my case installed in /usr/local/dovecot this would be /usr/local/dovecot/etc/dovecot.conf, am i right?
i have tried this out but still no mails, i can create folders the server saves them (by the way where?). im storing my mails in /var/mail/username in mbox format and have configurated: default_mail_env = mbox:/var/mail/%u:INDEX=/var/mail/indexes/%u
shouldn't that be enough ?
sorry for all that dump questions but im totaly new in imap server's...
