Resolved Dovecot/Courier Error

Tim Gerdes

New Pleskian
Hello,
I have a problem with the mailserver settings. I use Dovecot as a POP3 server, but Plesk indicates I use Courier.

Courier is displayed as an installed POP3 server.

But the Plesk installer says I have Dovecot installed.
Dovecot runs perfectly, but this error appears if I want to change the mail settings.

How can I tell Plesk that I use Dovecot?
 
Can you try switching to dovecot and see if it presents any error? You can ran the following command:

plesk installer --select-release-current --install-component dovecot
 
I have followed the instructions, but unfortunately nothing has changed.

This is how it looks in the service administration.

And this error I get when I try to start Dovecot.
 
Hey,

I need the output of the command to help you troubleshoot this, please run both of these commands (in order) and paste the result on this post:

plesk installer --select-release-current --install-component courier
plesk installer --select-release-current --install-component dovecot
