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