Hi,

      I built a mail server with qmail + vpopmail + dovecot , the qmail and
vpopmail worked well, until the dovecot was installed.
     Client always get empty email, I have try some solutions from
google, neither of then can solve the problem.
     Here is the detailed information of logs, version, and output of
'dovecot -n', please help, thanks.

                                     Lori
