Probably best off asking on Dovecot about this one - but as I recall
you started with an ancient version of Dovecot. So if you didn't get
rid of it completely you may well be using an old style config which
is causing the errors.
Open up your dovecot conf and have a look at these specific items...
Warning: Obsolete setting in /usr/local/etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf:5:
imap_client_workarounds=outlook-idle is no longer necessary
Warning: Obsolete setting in /usr/local/etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf:17:
add auth_ prefix to all settings inside auth {} and remove the auth {}
section completely
Warning: Obsolete setting in /usr/local/etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf:19:
passdb pam {} has been replaced by passdb { driver=pam }
Warning: Obsolete setting in /usr/local/etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf:21:
userdb passwd {} has been replaced by userdb { driver=passwd }
Warning: Obsolete setting in /usr/local/etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf:23:
auth_user has been replaced by service auth { user } dov
My advice would be to do what it says and start with a new config.
Back up your old one for SQL specific stuff, run You can get a new
clean config file with: doveconf -n >> dovecot-new.conf doveconf as
suggested and start from there.
