I removed dovecot, and installed the older version, that works. After reading your post (above) I decided to try the upgrade again making sure nobody was logged into mail.... The same problem resulted, so it's not caused by being logged into mail while dovecot is updated. I went back to the older dovecot version again,, added dovecot to my up2date ignore list and will keep an eye open for another update. :-) Don ------------------------------------------------------- The SF.Net email is sponsored by: Beat the post-holiday blues Get a FREE limited edition SourceForge.net t-shirt from ThinkGeek.
