The problem is with dovecot.  (port 110 is the IMAP port, isn't it?  I
can't telnet to it.)  

camille log # emerge -pv dovecot

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Calculating dependencies... done!
[ebuild   R   ] net-mail/dovecot-1.1.1-r1  USE="doc ipv6 kerberos ldap
mysql pam ssl -debug -managesieve -mbox -pop3d -postgres -sieve -sqlite3
-suid -vpopmail" 2,221 kB 

Total: 1 package (1 reinstall), Size of downloads: 2,221 kB




Here's my dovecot.conf:

camille log # cat /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf | sed /#/d





protocols = imap imaps


disable_plaintext_auth = no









ssl_disable = yes





















mail_location = maildir:~/.maildir 















































protocol imap {






}
  

protocol pop3 {









}


protocol lda {
  postmaster_address = postmaster@××××××××××××.com




}

















auth default {
  mechanisms = plain




  passdb pam {
    args = "*"
  }










  userdb passwd {
  }







  user = root





}




dict {
}


plugin {




}
