Agreed, comfort with the Unix underpinnings is likely needed. I was describing it as ‘low effort’ in the context of Randy saying, ‘i use dovecot on real servers’.

If you ever look into this again, the email address and SMTP server are irrelevant as this account will never be used for sending messages. I’ve left both of mine blank.

Fredrik, thank you both for writing the post originally and for keeping it up to date. I am indebted to you – it’s exactly what I needed to be able to switch to MailMate a few years ago, and I’m not sure I would have attempted setting up Dovecot without your guide. Thank you for taking the time to document it!
