Dear all,
I can second Hans mail. Dovecot is running like a charm here. And the
configuration steps Hans is writing about are part of any serious environment
specific configuration. Maybe one could add some sort of OI specific readme to
the package based on Hans' description.
Cheers

It's not OI specific ... if you read the Dovecot readme/look on the
Dovecot website it tells you to go through these steps ...
I have to go a couple of steps further (I still use Dovecot on Solaris

serves me correctly, when I installed it on Red Hat EL6.2 a year or so ago, I
don't think it worked without being manually configured there,
Dovecot actually does start, you just need to set up a few things first:
A proper conf file tree, and any file or directory referenced by that
file tree, must needs be exist, and be populated appropriately.
