Hello,

I use 1.0_rc15 on Gentoo Linux and since upgrading from the previous version
(0.97 something?), POP3S stopped working. My USE flags are

USE="[...]maildir [...] pop3d"

I configured Dovecot to use POP3S:

-- 8< --
# Protocols we want to be serving:
#  imap imaps pop3 pop3s
#protocols = imap imaps

protocols=pop3s
-- >8 --

The pop3 binary exists:

-- 8< --
# cd /usr/libexec/dovecot/
# dir
total 3224

However only IMAPS is used:

-- 8< --
# /etc/init.d/dovecot restart
 * Stopping dovecot...
[ ok ]
 * Starting dovecot...
[ ok ]
 # netstat -l
Active Internet connections (only servers)

[...]
-- >8 --

Any hints?

Thanks,

Johann
