Hi Chris,

Just wondering - is it possible to install Dovecot on the same server as 
UW IMAP but listening on a different port?
Will the installation of Dovecot mess up any of UW's files/libraries?

I'd like to try running them side by side first so that I can get 
Dovecot configured properly 'in-place' then switch off UW and have 
Dovecot listen on 143.

I'm just nervous about installing Dovecot on the server and corrupting 
UW somehow!
