I upgraded from RH9 to FC2.  After I was done, IMAP didn't work.  I had 
imap, imaps, pop3, and pop3s all working under RH9.  None of them worked 
under FC2.  I fixed by:

service cyrus-imapd stop
rpm -e cyrus-imapd
rpm -i dovecot
cd /usr/share/ssl/certs; make dovecot.pem
head -15 /usr/share/ssl/certs/dovecot.pem > \
/usr/share/ssl/private/dovetcot.pem
service dovecot start

Now I can read my email both locally or remotely....
