base_dir = /var/run/dovecot/
protocols = imap imaps pop3 pop3s
listen = *
disable_plaintext_auth = no
syslog_facility = mail
ssl_disable = no
ssl_cert_file = /etc/ssl/certs/dovecot.pem
ssl_key_file = /etc/ssl/private/dovecot.pem
login_greeting = Server is ready.
mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir
mail_uid = 89
mail_gid = 89
first_valid_uid = 89
last_valid_uid = 89
first_valid_gid = 89
last_valid_gid = 89
protocol imap {
}
protocol pop3 {
}
auth default {
  mechanisms = plain login digest-md5 cram-md5
