What's the exact problem you're having? No response? Error response |
| 25 |
from dovecot? |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
Do you see dovecot listening? |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
Do a 'netstat -a -t | egrep imap' and see if there's any output. |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
If it's not listening on *:imap (say on 127.0.0.1:imap for example) |
| 32 |
then you probably want the 'listen = *' in your config file. |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
Is dovecot complaining in the logs? |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
When you emerge a new dovecot you need to restart it |
| 37 |
(/etc/init.d/dovecot restart) or else you'll get errors with the |
| 38 |
client/server communication as well. |
