hello and thx
a.) Linux
b.) Redhat (Version unknown)
? You seriously don't know what version of the platform (Redhat) you are
running on? What about (at least) the linux kernel?
What about dovecot version?
Is the below your *entire* output of dovecot -n?
Lastly - what is happening that makes you think that dovecot 'tries to
create and use imap'?
For example: log output?
Sorry, not trying to be difficult, but you're really not providing
enough information for anyone here to be able to help you...
