dovecot is part of the basic distribution. /etc/dovecot.conf is the
configuration file. chkconfig --level 35 dovecot on
will put dovecot at the proper place in the chkconfig system. But I
suspect it is already done. service dovecot restart
will restart dovecot after you configure /etc/dovecote.conf
Finally,/usr/share/doc/dovecot-0.99.14/examples/dovecot-example.conf
will give you a sample dovecot.conf file to use as a model.
Be sure imap is chosen as one of the protocols.
