I had the same problem with newly installed 11.04. The problem for me was related to installing dovecot-common without dovecot-imapd (or other protocol support). Enabling the protocols in dovecot.conf without the support libraries causes the error. This is evident when trying to run dovecot directly (instead of upstart scripts), i.e.:
/usr/sbin/dovecot -F -c /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf Some better error logging would be very handy... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/771557 Title: dovecot does not want to start -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
