This may be the new toaster page for dovecot and the supporting files
you need to install it. It seems to work for both SuSE and Debian
installations. I've sent the Debian support files, so unless you are
working with a United Linux based distribution (like SuSE) you should be
good to go.

Dovecot IMAP
Dovecot will supply IMAP/SIMAP access.
Info: http://www.dovecot.org/
Install:
cd /var/src
tar -xzf tar/dovecot-1.1.11.tar.gz
cd dovecot-1.1.11
./configure --with-vpopmail --without-pop3d \
--without-passwd --without-pam \
--without-passwd-file --without-shadow \
--without-checkpassword --without-deliver
make
make install
Setup SSL certificate
cd doc
Edit the file dovecot-openssl.cnf and customize it for your site.
Your answers here should be nearly the same as the ones for the qmail
certificate except for the fact that this is used by the imap server and
the previous certificate is used by the mail server.
Create SSL certificate:
mkdir -p /etc/ssl/certs
chmod 755 /etc/ssl/certs
mkdir -p /etc/ssl/private
chmod 700 /etc/ssl/private
chmod 700 mkcert.sh
./mkcert.sh
Configure:
cd /usr/local/etc
cp dovecot-example.conf dovecot.conf
patch -p0 < /var/src/tar/dovecot-1.1.11-conf.patch
Setup run files for non SuSE systems
cp /var/src/tar/dovecot-1.1.11.sysv /etc/init.d/dovecot
chmod 755 /etc/init.d/dovecot
ln -s /etc/init.d/dovecot /etc/rc.d/rc0.d/K30dovecot
