I've unmerged uw-imap and emerged dovecot. I've got
dovecot running, but it still won't take my password
when I enter it in evolution. I haven't messed with
the /etc/dovecot.conf file because I don't know what
I'm doing. I used uw-imap before on my FC1 box
because it installed that by default and it only
required a little configuration alteration to work
out-of-the-box. Do I need to alter /etc/dovecot.conf
to get my mail server to work? I opened it up in vim
and the opening comment said that I didn't need to
uncomment any of the lines except for the paths. Are
these paths the default paths for an emerged dovecot
(Are the default paths correct for my system)?
