If you're accessing it locally only, the default settings should be fine. The only thing you may want to change is the location of the mail storage. Look for the mail_location setting at the top of /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-mail.conf. Then fire up Seamonkey, create a new IMAP account and tell it to use localhost for the server. > I > think I'm missing the part that I can access it with a GUI, like when I > go to mail.google.com or something. Dovecot is an IMP server, it doesn't have a GUI. What you are thinking of is a webmail *client*. That's just another client, like Thunderbird or mutt, as far as Dovecot is concerned. There are a few webmail clients available, I use Roundcube. -- Neil Bothwick I'd tell you a UDP joke, but you may not get it.
