I have just installed SuSE 13.1 and I wanted to install qpopper since that is what I was using to make local sendmail available to Thunderbird (pop3). I found that qpopper was missing from the repository and with a little google work, I found one post that asked about qpopper for 13.1. One person suggested using dovecot so I thought I would give it a try. Installing was easy and I thought running might be too. I started the service through yast, services manager. It seemed that dovecot didn't stay running so as suggested in dovecot manual, I looked at /var/log/mail. I saw that it failed on detection of the mail folder for my username. The manual had some info about that and suggested editing the dovecot.conf file. I did and now dovecot seems to be working and I can even connect from Thunderbird. It appears however that I might not understand very well how to get my goal for dovecot. I see that dovecot works and Thunderbird connects but I see that dovecot has created its own set of mail files and folders in the mail dir that seem to be parallel to the sendmail files but not connected with the sendmail files. Can anyone tell me how to get dovecot to do what I used to do with qpopper? I want dovecot to repackage sendmail messages for use by Thunderbird (or any other pop3 client).
