I think I would ask you to ignore the timestamps in this instance.  I
can tell you from fact that I deleted the old .dat file, restarted
dovecot, and waited for it to regenerate the file (i.e. there was
nothing there, and then there was ...).   So I can guarantee you that
the file there at the moment very much is a new file, and that I
waited for that new file before testing again.

All,

I was wondering if it is possible to use Dovecot as both incoming and
outgoing.

I have a friend that I am helping build a server, and he plans on using
Dovecot for POP/IMAP and Postfix for SMTP and mailbox storage.

If I understand right, Dovecot can handle both services and that is the
path I would like him to take for easier maintenance.

Can someone confirm this?

No.  Dovecot is JUST an IMAP/Pop3 server.  SMTP *MUST* be handled via
an MTA (Mail transport agent). Exim, Postfix, Sendmail, qmail, others
are MTA's for SMTP.
