I see that /lib/systemd/system/dovecot.socket has [Unit] Description=Dovecot IMAP/POP3 email server activation socket
[Socket] #dovecot expects separate IPv4 and IPv6 sockets BindIPv6Only=ipv6-only ListenStream=0.0.0.0:143 ListenStream=[::]:143 ListenStream=0.0.0.0:993 ListenStream=[::]:993 KeepAlive=true [Install] WantedBy=sockets.target but then, this is not going to work for anyone wanting to use pop3s on port 995 or pop3 on port 110. Additionally, under "[Socket]", there would need to be ListenStream=0.0.0.0:110 ListenStream=[::]:110 ListenStream=0.0.0.0:995 ListenStream=[::]:995 depending upon what ports are desired, but probably more useful to include them all by default. And still, neither "dovecot.socket" nor "dovecot.service" is being started. A related discussion about what to do with synchronizing dovecot and systemd configuration files, from 2012 March 15, can be found at http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.mail.imap.dovecot/63437 There is also some related discussion about dovecot configuration at https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=743444 There is a relevant bit here, from Michal Hlavinka, 2011 December 14, /{etc|lib}/systemd/system/sockets.target.wants/<daemon>.service is like /etc/rc.d/rd.5/<daemon> so in fact, it's not that different. service <daemon> start uses: for init script: /etc/init.d/<daemon> for systemd: /lib/systemd/system/<daemon>.service for start during boot: init script: /etc/rc.d/rc.5/Sxy<daemon> systemd: /lib/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/<daemon>.service so both SysV init and systemd need that file in multiple locations to work. So then, that implies $ sudo ln -s ../dovecot.socket /lib/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/dovecot.socket or $ sudo ln -s ../dovecot.service /lib/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/dovecot.service Sure enough - that seems to work, starting on boot. It may be that those links could alternatively go into /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/. It would seem that dovecot-core should create one of those links. How to decide which link? Perhaps, at least, a whacking-big note inside of /etc/dovecot/README, or perhaps a selection process upon installation.
