dovecot - Jun 2018 - cant login to Dovecot

Hi all,


I can't login.

This is a dovecot server for a small inhouse network, and I doon't use 
any encryption, and just want to login using the
standard Linux login

dovecot status gives me the following error messages:

I'm moving to a new server.

stats: open(old-stats-user) failed: Permission denied

This file may be somewhere on the old server.

Can anyone help me?

Config error.

"Fatal" sounds fatal ;-)
