Hi.

IIRC you should exec dovecot as a whole, to use it properly. Also edit your
dovecot.conf to only serve imap.

No. I don't want to exec dovecot as a whole as that would force me to
log in again, exactly what I want to avoid. And in this case, the listen
directives in dovecot.conf don't matter _at all_ (in fact, you can make
it so dovecot doesn't run at all).

I do think that I don't even need a dovecot.conf, but I'm not too sure
about that. Timo?
