The typo is no problem, I've already found service dovecto 
status/start/stop/.

This is not clear to me yet, do I need dovecot on a second computer to 
set up a "local account?" Do I need a t'bird IMAP account on each 
computer? Confusion reigns at this point but fear not I will get it 
eventually.

I am sending this from the F12 [dovecot]. Now to see if it will send. I 
collected your message so that much is working. We are having rain and 
snow in Virginia and my tiny ku band transmitter has trouble reaching 
the satellite. I'll try to send again later .

Thanks.
