The Upgrading page has lots of information on this, and the "doveconf"
command listed at the very top of that page worked great for me to create a new dovecot.conf. It produces lots of commentary to help sort
things out.

Can anyone please tell me what I need to add to get this very basic
IMAP server up and running?

http://wiki2.dovecot.org/

I did see that and I guess I don't really see a template for
parameters needed in the configuration. Is there nothing on the Wiki
or anywhere that I could just use as a configuration file template? My
old 1.x config was very small and simple:

auth_mechanisms = plain login
mail_location = maildir:~/mail
passdb {
   driver = pam
}
protocols = imap
service auth {
   unix_listener auth-client {
     group = postfix
     mode = 0660
     user = postfix
   }
   user = root
}
ssl_cert =</some/dir/cert.pem
ssl_key =</some/dir/key.pem
userdb {
   driver = passwd
}
#protocol imap {
#  imap_client_workarounds = delay-newmail tb-extra-mailbox-sep

I just had users authenticating via PAM, using TLS, and connecting on
IMAP only. The Wiki gives great info but doesn't help me generate a
dovecot.conf file from what I can see. It does a great job of
explaining all possible scenarios for many platforms. Is my
configuration above not correct for Dovecot 2.0.11?
