Overview
Dovecot is email server software. Wikipedia (Dovecot (software)) describes it as just a POP3 and IMAP server, but Ubuntu packages it as a "stack" which provides both MTA and MDA functionality.
Notes
For Ubuntu 10.04 (whatever version of dovecot that corresponds to), some of the settings in dovecot.conf have been pushed out to sub-files. When dovecot is paired with postfix, the files appear to be:
- auth.d/01-dovecot-postfix.auth
- conf.d/01-dovecot-postfix.conf
If you are experiencing an error where dovecot complains that it can't find cmusieve – like this:
Fatal: Plugin cmusieve not found from directory /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/lda
– then edit the 01-dovecot-postfix.conf file and change "cmusieve" to "sieve". --Woozle 17:41, 23 May 2010 (UTC)
