Thank you for the reply. I gently massaged /etc/dovecot.conf and it still looks like it may not be working - time will soon tell. Basically I, I can download folders, and I have got a few old messages delivered (the server was off line for over a week). In /var/log/secure, I get the messages: dovecot-auth: pam_succeed_if: requirement "uid < 100" not met by user (all the various imap users). This happens everytime an MUA logs in. This looks ambiguous to me. I have not learned PAM, but does this mean what it looks like, that authentication failed? If so, how do I correct that? Thanks again.
