Dovecot log file location on Nixos
0
I want to use dovecot as a local IMAP server to serve my offlineimap synced mails to gnus. This is on a Nixos installation. I have installed the dovecot package via my configuration.nix. however I am having trouble configuring it, seeing where the log files are, etc. I copy the configuration files (dovecot.conf and config.d) from /nix/store/dovecot/share/doc/dovecot/example-config. I can then modify slightly the files to allow plain login (no ssl required) just to test.I can start dovecot (as root). I see the process running, the relevant ports are open and listening, e.g. 143. Everything looks OK. No crashes. However when I telnet localhost 143 (for imap) to test, I am connected and then immediately the connection is closed by foreign host. This is not what I expect from the Dovecot Wiki. I should get a statemen...
