Slackware 13.37 + Dovecot 2.0.15 (Configuration)

Get Dovecot 2.0.15 from here (dovecot-2.0.15-i686-1cf.txz) then install it
$ upgradepkg --install-new dovecot-2.0.15-i686-1cf.txz
Then, start for configuration
$ cp -v /usr/doc/dovecot-2.0.15/example-config/* /etc/dovecot/

First create user and group for dovecot
groupadd dovecot
useradd -g dovecot dovecot
useradd -g dovecot dovenull
Here Bellow is my worked configuration : Dovecot.conf
# grep -v "#" /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf

protocols = imap pop3
listen = *
base_dir = /var/run/dovecot/
login_greeting = Dovecot ready.
dict {}
!include conf.d/*.conf
10-auth.conf
$ grep -v "#" /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-auth.conf

disable_plaintext_auth = yes
auth_mechanisms = plain login
!include auth-system.conf.ext
10-mail.conf
$ grep -v "#" /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-mail.conf

mail_location = maildir:%h/Maildir
auth_socket_path = /var/run/dovecot/auth-userdb
mail_plugin_dir = /usr/lib/dovecot
mail_plugins = $mail_plugins
10-master.conf
$ grep -v "#" /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-master.conf

service imap-login {  inet_listener imap {  }  inet_listener imaps {  }}
service pop3-login {  inet_listener pop3 {  }  inet_listener pop3s {  }}
service lmtp {  unix_listener lmtp {  }}
service imap {}
service pop3 {}
service auth {  unix_listener auth-userdb {  }}
service auth-worker {}
service dict {  unix_listener dict {  }}
Dovecot-openssl.cnf
$ grep -v "#" /usr/doc/dovecot-2.0.15/dovecot-openssl.cnf

[ req ]
default_bits = 1024
encrypt_key = yes
distinguished_name = req_dn
x509_extensions = cert_type
prompt = no
[ req_dn ]
C=ID
ST= Indonesia
L=MyCity
O=Dovecot
OU=IMAP server
CN=imap.despro.lan
emailAddress=postmaster@despro.lan
[ cert_type ]
nsCertType = server
$ cd /usr/doc/dovecot-2.0.15/
$ sh mkcert.sh
this action will create /etc/ssl/private/dovecot.pem and /etc/ssl/certs/dovecot.pem have been created. Remember their locations because you have to insert them in 10-ssl.conf
10-ssl.conf
$ grep -v "#" /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-ssl.conf

ssl_cert =
ssl_key =
20-imap.conf
$ grep -v "#" /etc/dovecot/conf.d/20-imap.conf

protocol imap {mail_plugins = $mail_plugins imap_quota autocreate}
$ grep -v "#" /etc/dovecot/conf.d/20-pop3.conf

protocol pop3 
{mail_plugins = $mail_plugins}
90-plugin.conf
$ grep -v "#" /etc/dovecot/conf.d/90-plugin.conf

plugin 

{    
autocreate = Sent    
autocreate2 = Drafts    
autocreate3 = Junk    
autocreate4 = Trash    
autosubscribe = Sent    
autosubscribe2 = Drafts    
autosubscribe3 = Junk    
autosubscribe4 = Trash
}
90-quota.conf
$ grep -v "#" /etc/dovecot/conf.d/90-quota.conf
plugin {
quota = maildir:User quota
}
auth-system.conf.ext
$ grep -v "#" /etc/dovecot/conf.d/auth-system.conf.ext

passdb {
driver = shadow
}
userdb {
driver = passwd
}
Done
