Check your firewall
Check that there is a line for localhost in /etc/hosts

Type: /sbin/service dovecot restart

Check your mail logs.

/var/log/mail.info

or

/var/log/maillog

[root@PTLV002 ~]# /sbin/service dovecot restart
Shutting down dovecot: [FAILED]
Starting dovecot: Fatal: Dovecot is already running with PID 2712 (read from /var/run/dovecot/master.pid)
[FAILED]

Try this:

# kill 2712
# kill -9 2712
# /sbin/service dovecot restart

Even if some of these give you errors it should restart Dovecot properly. If it doesn't, then remove the file /var/run/dovecot/master.pid and rerun the above.

Note that I do not guarantee results if my solutions don't work for you, or even if they break something. I guarantee results only if you hire me to work on your server. I'm sorry that I must do that, but I can only guarantee work I do myself.
