Topic: Dovecot stopped working after upgrade (Ubuntu)
iRedMail version 0.7.3
Linux: Ubuntu 11.10
I was called to help someone troubleshooting his iRedMail installation, as (like he said) it wasn't possible to connect to imap, even with reboot of the server.
After a bit of troubleshooting, I discovered that the dovecot, that wouldn't start, was version 2.0.13-1ubuntu3.2 and not the 1.2.15-3ubuntu2.1 it was configured with, back when iRedMail was installed.
The upgrade from the 1.2-series to 2.0-series obviously broke the configuration.
Running doveconf reveals these "issues":

It doesn't look like Ubuntu 11.10 has the dovecot 1.2-series in the standard repository anymore..
