Xserve - Mail service not saving changes

[~Luke]

We have a Xserve with Snow leopard (10.6) and we have dovecot installed. We want to serve IMAP. According to mail it is on. Whenever we make any changes to the mail service in Server Admin and press save the values revert back to what they were (so no accepting the new values). We do not get any errors and we have checked the logs but nothing suggests why this has happened.

Any idea's?

Alternatively, is there anyone here really familiar with DoveCot that we could speak to? or any companies to contact?

All we want to do is run/host our own IMAP mailserver.

Thanks in advance,

~Luke

As you can see the pop/IMAP incoming is off. We cannot get it to turn on. The server has been restarted also and no change has occured.

Any help will be greatly appreciated,

Thanks in advance,
