Sometime ago when we were using qmail ( leaving to postfix was the best thing we did and should have done it many many years earlier) I posted to the vpopmail list a working dovecot.conf file for soemone... (note we use port 193 below in imap because (and maybe you should consider it as well) we use imapproxy (http://www.imapproxy.org) protocols = pop3 imap listen = * disable_plaintext_auth = no shutdown_clients = yes syslog_facility = local7 ssl_disable = yes login_dir = /var/run/dovecot/login #login_max_connections = 256 login_greeting = Ok techno weenie, who r ya? default_mail_env = maildir:%h/Maildir first_valid_uid = 89 first_valid_gid = 89 protocol imap { listen = *:193 mail_plugins = quota imap_quota imap_client_workarounds = outlook-idle } protocol pop3 { pop3_uidl_format = %f #%08Xu%08Xv mail_plugins = quota } auth_process_size = 512 auth_cache_size = 512 auth_cache_ttl = 3600 auth default { mechanisms = plain # vpopmail authentication passdb vpopmail { #args = } # vpopmail userdb vpopmail { } user = root } dict { #quota = mysql:/etc/dovecot-dict-quota.conf } plugin { quota = maildir } ..note, as above, we have not used this in sometime now, but it was an archive of the conf file, so it can be regarded as working config.
