Login from localhost (rip=::1), probably using horde webmail

Logout from localhost, same same. rcvd and sent data are larger than
zero, seems to work fine.

Unrelated to dovecot, but your server seems to have other issues too.

There are no log lines from dovecot that tell us about connections
from remote (i.e. non localhost) hosts. If you can't connect using an
external client, maybe your firewall is still closed, or dovecot is
only listening on localhost?

You should start here: http://wiki.dovecot.org/TestInstallation and
tell where you got stuck (and include the details of the steps you
managed to complete).

No obvious stuff in there other than the qmail references (despite
having postfix running too), but please post `dovecot -n` output
directly in your mail, next time. Thank you ;)
