@Reindl. I copied my conf.d folder as I deleted all the dovecot files in etc/dovecot use/etc/dovecot etc ... ...
When I installed the new 2.2.13 version it didn't seem to want to put the lmtp executable into the location that dovecot was expecting ? So I found the file and copied it to where it was expected to be. I then copied my old (backed up) conf.d bact to etc/dovecot/conf.d/ Performed a restart of dovecot, and got the above error. Quite simple really. But where else does dovecot store files, so as I can get all the errant files. David.
