I tried to set up dovecut once but failed. I guess I better get back on
that since I use Seamonkey to do my email with. I don't like
Thunderbird and sadly may not like much of the other email methods either.
I've mentioned it before, but DON'T modify the dovecot.conf file. Look
down the bottom it references a local config file. Create that and shove
all your config in there, then it will survive a dovecot update :-)

The below is the contents of my local.conf, which gives me local users
in passwd, and virtual users in /etc/dovecot/passwd ...
# authentication configuration
auth_verbose = yes
auth_mechanisms = plain
passdb {
driver = passwd-file
args = /etc/dovecot/passwd
}
userdb {
driver = static
args = uid=vmail gid=vmail home=/home/vmail/%u
}
