[Dovecot] Dovecot can't start with error pop3-login & imap-login not supported protocol family
I've done the installation (rpm downloaded from the RHES4 link
given by Oli below) but dovecot won't start, it gave
the error pop3-login & imap-login not supported by protocol.
I'm sure with a much older version (in my previous post) of
dovecot, I'm able to start up dovecot & it did not give this
error. Thought dovecot is suppose to come with pop3 & imap?
