[Dovecot] Switching Servers now can't retrieve mail
I have just switched my mail server. I have copied (I think) the config files
from the old to new. Exim is work fine on the new machine as I can see email
file showing up in /var/mail/lists/new . However, dovecot reports nothing when I
check mail . I am have turn on logging on both machines and I do not see
anything that looks like an error. I have also looked to see if the dovecot.conf
file is compatible between 1.0.14 and 1.1.2 and have found little.
I am guessing this is a simple problem, can someone tell me what I have done
wrong here.
I have provided Working dovecot -n from both machines and the log output from a
mail fetch.
Thanks,
working

[Dovecot] Switching Servers now can't retrieve mail
Started with a new conf file and now it's working. I guess there is a configuration difference between 1.0.14 and 1.1.2 On Fri October 10 2008 08:01:34 lists at kesh.com wrote:> > I have just switched my mail server.
