Thanks for the suggestion about imap conflicts.  As it turned out, I was
able to install dovecot, mostly.  :-)  It's running and responding to
requests, but is complaining about a file or folder  access problem.  The
old version of imapd (imap-2001a-18) has been erased, but the problem
persists.  Briefly, I have a number of email accounts all aliased over to
one combined account, that is, 'foo', 'bar', and 'bletch' are all aliased to
'combined'.  I use an account on another host to get mail that goes to
'combined'.  This worked perfectly well when my server was running RH9.  Now
dovecot complains of an error when the other host logs in via pop3:

    Mkdir_parents(/mail/.imap/INBOX failed: Permission denied
    Couldn't open INBOX: Internal error occurred.  Refer to server log for
more information
    Login: combined [192.168.1.101]

In trying to get this to work under FC3 and using dovecot, I have 

A) created /home/combined (it did not exist before)
B) created /home/combined/mail
C) even tried creating /home/combined/.imap and /home/combined/.imap/INDEX
(as directories), but no dice

Do you have any suggestions?  Here is my dovecot.conf file, with comments
removed

protocols = pop3 pop3s
pop3_listen = [*]
pop3s_listen = [*]
login_dir = /var/run/dovecot-login
login = pop3
mail_extra_groups = mail
default_mail_env = mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/var/mail/%u
client_workarounds = outlook-idle outlook-pop3-no-nuls
auth = default
auth_mechanisms = plain
auth_userdb = passwd
auth_passdb = pam
auth_user = root
auth_verbose = yes
auth_debug = yes

TIA ever so much!

Debbie
