It might be old but still worked.
I am using Dovecot 1.2.11 hoping to replace QualComm Eudora and
Cyrus IMAP.
dovecot -n yields

And running SSL here
In my logs I see
Aug 17 00:35:10 doctor dovecot: POP3(user1): Fatal: setregid(100(user),14(mail))
failed with euid=0(root): Operation not permitted
Aug 17 00:35:15 doctor dovecot: IMAP(user2): Fatal: setregid(100(user),14(mail))
failed with euid=0(root): Operation not permitted
Question: What are am I not doing right?
