you are using Debian Jessie! Let us now configure Dovecot which will do several things for us: get emails from Postfix and save them to disk execute user-based https://workaround.org/ispmail/wheezy/setting-up-dovecot "sieve" filter rules (can be used to put away emails to different folders) allow the user to fetch emails using POP3 or IMAP Before we get to the actual configuration for security reasons I recommend that you create a new system user that will own all virtual mailboxes. The following shell commands will create a system group "vmail" with error reading GID (group ID) 5000 and a system user "vmail" with UID (user ID) 5000. (Make sure that UID and GID are not yet used or choose another - the number can be anything between 1000 and 65000 that is not yet used): groupadd -g 5000 vmail useradd -g vmail -u 5000 vmail -d /var/vmail -m Also make sure that this error reading configuration directory has the proper permissions: chown -R vmail:vmail /var/vmail chmod u+w /var/vmail The configuration files for Dovecot are found under /etc/dovecot. In previous guides there were only two configuration files. But in Debian Wheezy's Dovecot version you will find a new directory "conf.d" that contains about 30 configuration files. All these files are joined together to form the complete Dovecot configuration. This is done by this magical line in the dovecot.conf file: !include conf.d/*.conf It loads all files in /etc/dovecot/conf.d/ that end on ".conf" in sorted order. So "10-auth.conf" is loaded first and "90-quota.conf" is loaded last. The big advantage is that you can edit or replace parts of the configuration without having to overwrite the entire configuration. The disadvantage is that if you are upgrading your mail server from a previous Debian version that you need to re-configure everything in Dovecot. The main /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf file does not require any changes. These other files in conf.d/ however need to be edited… conf.d/ 10-auth.conf If you expect your users to use Micro$oft Outlook as an email application you should enab
