After reboot it now shows 1.1.16 for 'dovecot --version'. I can attempt
to remove dovecot with apt-get and reinstall the compiled version again?
What was the prefix? /usr/local?
Show: `which dovecot`
I believe the 'old' one is still running, started via the init script.

I just did some research on the server and you are completely right.
When I look at the /etc/init.d/dovecot script I see that the daemon is
loaded at /usr/sbin/dovecot. If I request the version in that directory
I indeed get the old version number. Now my problem is that I seem to
have to installations of dovecot now, with the older one running and the
newer one being idle. Is there an easy way to solve this issue? I tried
stopping the service, then changing the DAEMON variable in the
/etc/init.d/dovecot file and starting it again, but that didn't work.
Any suggestions?
Please note: the older version was installed using 'apt-get', the newer
version was installed by compiling from source. As additional
information: the server is currently using the JEOS distribution (thus
Ubuntu).
NB. Thank to Charles, this message will hopefully be posted inline now ;).
