Hi all,
Just recently I reinstalled my server box, and having to set it up to receive email again. I got sendmail working OK I think, and have dovecot setup for imap and pop. But dovecot won't recognize my login info, so it's not recognizing my default logins, which I just use a normal /etc/passwd for users and passwords, nothing special. I also have ssl turned off since it's all local.
So what am I missing in my /etc/dovecot/conf.d dir to configure?
BTW, it is Fedora 21 that I am using, but it shouldn't matter as dovecot should be same on 20 as well, I would think/hope.
Any help appreciated, thanks.

What do you get if you do....
telnet localhost 143 and then enter ....
a.000 login username password
I don't use dovecot.....but there should be logs and you should be able to do
journalctl -b 0 -u dovecot
a.000 NO [AUTHENTICATIONFAILED] Authentication failed.

Something in the configuring isn't setup cause I remember doing this before, like year or 2 ago and had to get it set right.

Does doveconf -n indicate you're using pam for the passdb?
I finally got it working this morning after work, I just removed the program totally to include all the conf files and stuff and reinstalled it, only configured bare minimal and can login now. Now, the only thing I am having a problem with, is I have it setup for imap, and I can create folders, but I can't create a subfolder.
For example, I have a folder called RedHat, and I put all the different mailing lists I subscribe to under that folder, such as Beta for testing, devel for devel list, Fedora for users list, info for announce lists, etc.. But I can create the RedHat folder, but when trying to create one under it, it won't let me highlight that folder to create it under. If I try to create it as a main folder, then move it to the RedHat folder, can't do that neither. I think I ran into this before but can't remember how I created the sub folders. This is using evolution on the client machine btw haha.
Any ideas? Also, sorry if this is top writing or whatever it may be, as am currently going through gmail for now so I don't bounce emails until get my server working OK.

Disregard as I got it figured out. So far so good now I think. And time to recreate backups to my config files so little easier next time.
