It's simple mate.  If requesting support provide the following:

1.  Version of Dovecot you are using.
2.  Relevant configuration details
3.  OS and platform you are running on.
4.  Any potential log entries or other issues you are having.

Net result?  Support.

Provide those details and I'll be happy to help you troubleshoot your
problem.

I also recommend reading
http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html.  Seems to work for
most lists I am on.

Without rancor I'd also recommend that you don't ever use an old
configuration file for ANY application without reviewing it carefully in
light of your environment, the current version of the application you
are using, and your requirements.
