As it turned out, I was able to install dovecot, mostly. :-) It's running and responding to requests, but is complaining about a file or folder access problem. The old version of imapd (imap-2001a-18) has been erased, but the problem persists. Briefly, I have a number of email accounts all aliased over to one combined account, that is, 'foo', 'bar', and 'bletch' are all aliased to 'combined'. I use an account on another host to get mail that goes to 'combined'. This worked perfectly well when my server was running RH9. Now dovecot complains of an error when the other host logs in via pop3: Mkdir_parents(/mail/.imap/INBOX failed: Permission denied Couldn't open INBOX: Internal error occurred. Refer to server log for more information Login: combined [192.168.1.101] In trying to get this to work under FC3 and using dovecot, I have A) created /home/combined (it did not exist before) B) created /home/combined/mail C) even tried creating /home/combined/.imap and /home/combined/.imap/INDEX (as directories), but no dice Do you have any suggestions? Here is my dovecot.conf file, with comments removed protocols = pop3 pop3s pop3_listen = [*] pop3s_listen = [*] login_dir = /var/run/dovecot-login login = pop3 mail_extra_groups = mail default_mail_env = mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/var/mail/%u client_workarounds = outlook-idle outlook-pop3-no-nuls auth = default auth_mechanisms = plain auth_userdb = passwd auth_passdb = pam auth_user = root auth_verbose = yes auth_debug = yes TIA ever so much!
