Hi guys, I setup a new box with Debian Squeeze 64bit and installed dovecot from the sources. However, I can't start dovecot or even use doveconf: root at imap01:~# doveconf -n # 2.0.13: /usr/local/etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf doveconf: Fatal: Error in configuration file /usr/local/etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-mail.conf line 111: Unknown setting: mail_uid Why is mail_uid and mail_gid an unknown setting? On my other box the configuration is identical (but Dovecot is upgraded from early 2.0.x versions to the current one) If I comment the mail_uid and mail_gid lines, I get another error: root at imap01:~# doveconf -n doveconf: Fatal: Error in configuration file /usr/local/etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-master.conf line 17: Unknown setting: service doveconf: Error: managesieve-login: dump-capability process returned 89 doveconf: Fatal: Error in configuration file /usr/local/etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-master.conf line 17: Unknown setting: service Everything I could find on Google are problems after upgrading from 1.x to 2.x What went wrong? Regards Patrick

Can you show us the 10-mail.conf file? -Remy

Thank you guys.
