I can only assume that debian is using dovecot 1.9? This setup is for dovecot 2.x Can you verify this and let us know please.

Yepp debian is using dovecot 1.9..

You might be able to apt-get remove dovecot and look at building >= 2.0 using make install and the source files...

Yepp im already working on that!

After running ./configure:
Install prefix . : /usr/local
File offsets ... : 64bit
I/O polling .... : epoll
I/O notifys .... : inotify
SSL ............ : no
GSSAPI ......... : no
passdbs ........ : static passwd passwd-file shadow checkpassword
: -pam -bsdauth -sia -ldap -sql -vpopmail
userdbs ........ : static prefetch passwd passwd-file checkpassword nss
: -ldap -sql -vpopmail
SQL drivers .... :
: -pgsql -mysql -sqlite
Full text search : squat

baah... its too much work.. im just gonna install ubuntu
But ZPanelX is working great in Debian except Dovecot.

[rustus]

Just grab the zp6 install script and get the dovecot config from there (it used 1.9) and you should be good.

If you can get it going on debian that would be great just let everyone know how you do manage it :P

[slippern2]

Ahh
I will adapt the zpanel 6.1 config to zpanelx and release a how-to

[rustus]

Yup, if you want you can make your own "config pack" for debian. Just copy Ubuntu config pack, rename it and then start changing only what you need. Then there will be a complete 'config pack' that people can use for Debian version But you can do whatever you like
