dovecot doesn't see my mails ?

[Dave Myers]

@Steffen,

Thanks for your input, and please excuse my clearly stupid questions.. ;)

where / how do I get that to work ?

I've added the required stuff to the dovecot and exim configs, but 
clearly I need to install
dovecot-lmtpd (error message about not finding the executable)

However I needed to install dovecot from source (as I couldn't get the 
server to accept backports ?). Any advice on upgrading / changing the 
install ?

Can I simply make a copy of the whole of my config (which otherwise 
works), then do the same install from a /deb source file for lmtpd, then 
copy my config back to this location?

Or do you advise some other path for the upgrade ?

thanks.

David
