Hello,

I have a Debian machine that is virtual-hosting 6 domains with exim4.  I 
finally got exim4 working well enough where I can send and receive mail using 
the mail command on my machine.  I would eventually like to have SquirrelMail 
(which requires IMAP) working on my website.  For whatever reason, exim4 
doesn't seem to support IMAP.  I found out that Dovecot is a prominent IMAP 
server.

So I installed the most current Dovecot package (1.0.rc15) in Debian.  
Something is broken though...

As I log into SquirrelMail, I get an error message "Error connecting to IMAP 
server: localhost. 111 : Connection refused".  To investigate, I decided to 
telnet localhost on port 143 and found out that yes, the connection is in fact 
refused.

So what do I need to do in order to have dovecot listen on port 143?

Also, I noticed when I restart dovecot...

debian:/etc/dovecot# /etc/init.d/dovecot restart
Restarting mail server: dovecotError: Can't use mail executable 
/usr/lib/dovecot/imap: No such file or directory

I hope this isn't a serious problem.

Thanks

Tim Legg
