I been trying to find a up to date guide on this.  I'm not having much
luck.  I tried the Dovecot site but they seem to cater to people wanting
a space ship going to Mars or something.  Does anyone have a link to a
simple guide I can follow?  The ones I found talk about options that
don't even exist.  They are for the 2.* version but seem to be out of
date never the less.  Even the Gentoo wiki one I found has a part that
is out of date, says so above it.  I missed out on the squirrel.  :/  I
think I'm missing the part that I can access it with a GUI, like when I
go to mail.google.com or something. 

Any links would be nice.  At this point, it's emerged, I'm clueless from
there.  I don't even know how to access it to see if it is even running,
other than ps showing it.
