[Dovecot] Problem with Postfix + Dovecot + MySQL + Squirrelmail

Dear friends, 

I try configure a webmail on my server using Postfix + Dovecot + MySQL +
Squirrelmail.

My system is a Debian6 and dovecot version is: 

#dovecot --version
1.2.15

But, when I try to access an account on squirrel I recieve this message: 

?ERROR
Error connecting to IMAP server: localhost.
111 : Connection refused?

Looking for a problem I foud this: 

#service dovecot start
Starting IMAP/POP3 mail server: dovecotLast died with error (see error log for
more information): Auth process died too early - shutting down
If you have trouble with authentication failures,
enable auth_debug setting. See http://wiki.dovecot.org/WhyDoesItNotWork
This message goes away after the first successful login.
.

And the status of doveco is: 

#service dovecot status
dovecot is not running ... failed!

The other services seems to be OK: 

#service postfix status
postfix is running.

# service mysql status

Looking at dovecot.conf I found some incosistences: 

On dovecot.conf:

protocol lda {
sendmail_path = /usr/lib/sendmail
auth_socket_path = /var/run/dovecot/auth-master
}

socket listen {
master {
path = /var/run/dovecot/auth-master
mode = 0600
user = vmail 
group = mail
}
client {
path = /var/run/dovecot/auth-client
mode = 0660
user = vmail 
group = mail
}
}

But in the system I don1t found this files!!! 

/var/run/dovecot# ls
total 20K
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root ???4.0K Jan 27 11:35 .

srw-rw---- 1 root dovecot ???0 Jan 27 11:35 default
-rw-r--r-- 2 root root ????230 Jan 23 19:12 ssl-parameters.dat

I think maybe that is the problem. Anyone knows how I fix that? Or what is the
real problem?

Thanks for any help!

No need to keep guessing the problem. "See error log for more
information" like it says. http://wiki.dovecot.org/Logging

[Dovecot] Problem with Postfix + Dovecot + MySQL + Squirrelmail

Ok, I study the wikki and the dovecot works. But when I try to send a mail
using squirrel, I get this error on logs:

How can I fix this? My conf files seems to be ok:

And Postfix conf:

Sorry, but this has nothing to do with dovecot, unless your intention is 
to use dovecot-sasl with your postfix... it appears you are using 
cyrus-sasl and postfix on your smtp server, that is where your problem lies.

Easiest would be to configure postfix to use dovecot-sasl:

[Dovecot] Problem with Postfix + Dovecot + MySQL + Squirrelmail

Ok,

I do some changes and now I can send mails but not recieve mail. On log I
get this message:

Feb 22 20:02:04 localhost dovecot: deliver(teste at clubedolimite.com.br):
Fatal: setgid(12(man)) failed with euid=150(vmail), gid=8(mail),
egid=8(mail): Operation not permitted (This binary should probably be
called with process group set to 12(man) instead of 8(mail))

Where is the problem now?

Thanks!
