I been trying to find a up to date guide on this. I'm not having much luck. I tried the Dovecot site but they seem to cater to people wanting a space ship going to Mars or something. Does anyone have a link to a simple guide I can follow? The ones I found talk about options that don't even exist. They are for the 2.* version but seem to be out of date never the less. Even the Gentoo wiki one I found has a part that is out of date, says so above it. I missed out on the squirrel. :/ I think I'm missing the part that I can access it with a GUI, like when I go to mail.google.com or something. Any links would be nice. At this point, it's emerged, I'm clueless from there. I don't even know how to access it to see if it is even running, other than ps showing it. Dale :-) :-)
