dovecot - Nov 2011 - setting up multiple listeners

Hello,

I'm using Dovecot v2 and am atempting to get webmail going. I'm trying
to set up imap so that port 993 only is listening on the external
interface, for both ipv4 and ipv6, but that on localhost only again
for ipv4 and ipv6 unencrypted port 143 is active. I've tried various
combinations but keep getting an error invalid number. I've googled
and not come up with the missing point.

Thanks.
Dave.

A full error message would have been nice, but basically you can do:

service imap-login {
  inet_listener imap {
    address = 127.0.0.1 ::1
  }
  inet_listener imaps {
    address = 1.2.3.4 f00::baa # your external ip addresses
  }
}
