It can be a bit of a gotcha this, although fine if you know about. I've been running a local dovecot IMAP server on a fresh squeeze install on my new dock for the last week. For the life of me I couldn't work out why my getmail scripts suddenly started to crash when pulling mails from my ISP POP3 accounts to populate the local IMAP server - everything had been fine up until then.
