    Receiving Mail with Dovecot

    Now that you can send mail, you also need to be able to receive it. Dovecot enables you to set up an incoming mail server that allows for multiple protocols to be used when accessing mail.

    Step 1.
    Unlike you did with Postfix, you first need to set up Dovecot by installing the correct package:

    # yum install -y dovecot

    Step 2.
    Verify the installation:

    # rpm -qa | grep dovecot
dovecot-2.0-0.10.beta6.20100630.el6.x86_64

    Step 3.
    Enable the service to start on system boot:

    # chkconfig dovecot on

    Step 4.
    Verify the service will start at boot:

    # chkconfig dovecot --list
dovecot         0:off   1:off   2:on   3:on   4:on   5:on   6:off
