[Dovecot] Several errors

[FraNL]

If this message again appear as new message - my apologies, but then a bit
more info on "how to reply on the mailing list" would be appreciated.

The problem with the version number is solved.
Solution:
1. # rpm -e dovecot
2. Remove manually all files and directories called dovecot or something
with dovecot in the name
3. Download http://www.dovecot.org/releases/1.2/dovecot-1.0.7.tar.gz
4. # tar -zxvf dovecot-1.0.7.tar.gz
5. # ./configure
6. # make
7. # make install
8. yum install -y dovecot

Now I am running 1.0.7.

I placed my dovecot.conf back in /etc.

dovecot -n result:
