Yes, the howto was very simple :). The only thing I did differently was
tell it to not listen to everything for conections, but only to
localhost:10087 in the IMAP protocol section. I'm probably going to
edit a few more settings, but right now dovecot seems to work nicely :).

I am having trouble with getmail, though. Having set it up like in
the howto, it seems to have deleted some mails. removing the -d option
might help. In that sense this email is a test. If somebody answers to
it, I can see if getmail fetches the mail properly.

The only other problem I have is getting my address book from Evolution
to Claws. Is there a way to convert vcard (.vcf) files to ldif or Claws
XML? I found an outdated script (vcard2xml.py) that only converts
Evolution 1.x address books to Claws xml format, but it seems it can't
convert the email addresses, so I'm stuck with names only. Any hints?

In thanks
