My server has been running just fine for over a year, until I upgraded
PostfixAdmin and somehow messed things up. Now I can't log in, and my
mail client (Evolution, if it matters) keeps popping up an
authentication request. The server is Ubuntu 20.04, my Dovecot is
version 2.3.7.2, and Evolution

Tried this,
Dovecot has been giving me problems for the past week or so. Today the
error log showed me this:
Jan 2 13:33:39 grace dovecot: auth-worker(3250): Error:

When I ran systemctl status mysql, it tells me mariadb.service is
active and running.
I've been trying to log into Dovecot without success, and this is what
I found in /var/log/mail.log:
Jan 3 02:47:33 grace dovecot: auth: Debug: client passdb out:

I've got a new Dovecot error (well, new to me, at least)!
I ran tail /var/log/mail.err and got the following:
net_connect_unix(/var/run/dovecot/stats-writer) failed: Permission
denied
I checked the file, and it's owned by www-data and the www-data group,
with read and write permissions for owner
I'm still troubleshooting a faulty email server, and got the following
results when I tried doveadm:

I reinstalled Dovecot this evening, because I haven't been able to
receive emails recently. After configuring and adjusting for the use
of PostfixAdmin, I get the following error message in Evolution:;

My Dovecot issues continue. Right now I see at least two issues:
first, my logs consistently show non-users trying (and failing) to log
in, and I'm still unable to log in from my email client (Evolution or
Roundcube, either one).
I'll post about the second issue later; right now I wonder why I'm

When I try to log in to my mail server (ubuntu 20.04, Postfix 3.4.13,
Dovecot 2.3.7.2) I get a response saying "Source stream returned no
data”. At least to me, that's not particularly informative. Is it any
more informative to anyone else?

Greetings, All!
I've got an email server set up with Postfix and Dovecot, but Dovecot
can't find any users. I'd ilke to use the database I set up in MariaDB
for users (referenced by Postfix), but I'm just not sure how to do it.
There's a line in dovecot.conf specifying /etc/dovecot/passwd.db, bu

Still working through difficulties upgrading to Dovecot 2.4. Right now
I'm having trouble getting my mail client (Evolution) to connect; I
keep getting "temporary authentication failures."
Before upgrading I was using the ARGON2I encryption scheme, so all my
users' passwords are stored that way.
I've been trying to upgrade to 2.4.0. I've gone through the conf
files, changing variables per the upgrade instructions. When I try to
run sudo systemctl start dovecot.service, I get error 89. Journalctl
shows me the error in question is "File name too long." I think it's
coming from where 10-s
I host two email servers, example1.com and example2.net. How can I
configure Dovecot 2.4 to distinguish between the two?

I finally got my new Dovecot 2.4 installation going to the point I can
log in from Evolution, but for some reason it won't accept my password.
Here are the pertinent sections from the dovecot.conf, 10-mail.conf,
and dovecot-sql.conf.ext files:
