Build Instructions
------------------
For most people, the usual:
./configure
make
sudo make install
is enough. This installs Dovecot under /usr/local.
If you have installed some libraries into locations which require special
include or library paths, you can give them in CPPFLAGS and LDFLAGS
environment variables. For example:
CPPFLAGS=-I/opt/openssl/include LDFLAGS=-L/opt/openssl/lib ./configure
See ./configure --help for a list of all available configure options.
See http://wiki.dovecot.org/CompilingSource for more information.
Running
-------
Rename configuration file:
mv /usr/local/etc/dovecot-example.conf /usr/local/etc/dovecot.conf
Read through, and make needed modifications.
Once everything is configured, there's two ways to start Dovecot:
1) Run "dovecot" binary which does everything.
2) Start it via inetd or similiar by executing "imap-login" or "pop3-login"
binaries. If you're listening in SSL port, add --ssl parameter.
See Wiki for more information about configuration. If you're in a hurry, go
at least through http://wiki.dovecot.org/QuickConfiguration
SSL/TLS
-------
Dovecot used to support both GNUTLS and OpenSSL libraries, but nowadays
only the OpenSSL code is working.
