http://wiki2.dovecot.org describes Dovecot V2.0 -- including an excellent "Generic information about mail servers!"
See also the Fetchmail -> Postfix -> Dovecot for additional discussions and perspectives on the process.
A list of Home pages for the various products used can be found at the end of this document:
