Can anyone tell me how to install Dovecot after Postfix is installed? The user guides only describe how to install them simultaneously but not separately. When I tried to use the command "apt-get dovecot-postfix" it gives me the message "E: Invalid Operation dovecot-postfix." Thanks in advance. |

That's because there is no package called "dovecot-postfix" (and you forgot "install"). You can just "sudo apt-get install postfix" now and "sudo apt-get install dovecot" later. "postfix-dovecot" is just a virtual package that provides both. |

Apparently the system is out of date. When I issue the command: apt-get install dovecot it tells me that "dovecot" is no longer available; however, it did tell me to use "dovecot-common" instead. So I typed apt-get install dovecot-common it worked. |
