[Dovecot] Switching Servers now can't retrieve mail

[lists at kesh.com]

Started with a new conf file and now it's working. I guess there is a configuration difference between  1.0.14  and  1.1.2

However, dovecot reports nothing when I check mail . I am have turn on logging on both machines and I do not see anything that looks like an error. I have also looked to see if the dovecot.conf file is compatible between 1.0.14 and 1.1.2 and have found little.
