DESCRIPTION
       Dovecot is an open source IMAP and POP3 server for Linux/UNIX-like sys‐
       tems, written with security primarily in mind.  Dovecot is an excellent
       choice  for  both  small and large installations.  It's fast, simple to
       set up, requires no special administration and it uses very little mem‐
       ory.

OPTIONS
       -a     Dump all configuration settings to stdout and exit successfully.
	      The same as doveconf -a.

       -c config-file
	      Start dovecot with an alternative configuration.

       -F     Run dovecot in foreground, do not daemonize.

       -n     Dump non-default settings to stdout and exit successfully.   The
	      same as doveconf -n.

       -p     Prompt  for  the	ssl key password for the configured ssl_key on
	      startup.

       --build-options
	      Show Dovecot's build options and exit successfully.

       --help Print a usage message to stdout and exit successfully.

       --version
	      Show Dovecot's version and exit successfully.

COMMANDS
       reload Force dovecot to reload its configuration.

       stop   Shutdown dovecot and all its child processes.

       When shutdown_clients is set to no, existing sessions will continue  to
       use  the	 old settings, after a dovecot reload.	Also all sessions will
       keep alive after a dovecot stop.
       By default all active sessions will be shut down.
