The command Timo gave you writes out the new configuration to
dovecot-new.conf. You need
I recommend you backup your existing configuration first, then try and
replace it. Like so:
$ cd /etc/dovecot/
$ cp dovecot.conf dovecot.conf-backup-v1
$ dovecot -n > dovecot-new.conf
(compare dovecot-new.conf, make sure it looks sane)
$ mv dovecot-new.conf dovecot.conf
Now restart the daemon. It is very important that you backup the
existing configuration in case and also that you think about what each
command does before entering it.
