🕊️Using Dovecot for IMAP

Docs are in progress and will be completed soon, this is here in case it's useful to anyone in the meantime.

Create a user for Dovecot IMAP:

adduser imapguy 

In this case, I see the new imapguy user has UID/GID of 1000 in the /etc/passwd file.

Add these two lines at the bottom of velocity-install/conf/mta.conf, matching the UID/GID of the imapguy user:

Mail Directory UID: 1000
Mail Directory GID: 1000

Change the ownership of the mail directory to our Dovecot user.

chown -R imapguy.imapguy /root/velocity-install/mail

Restart Velocity MTA:

./restart.sh

Future incoming messages will be created with the new UID/GID and readable by Dovecot.
