Hello! For some reason Dovecot won't restart on Ubuntu 16.04. In the logs /var/mail.log I see:

dovecot: master: Fatal: service(pop3-login) access(/usr/lib/dovecot/pop3-login) failed: No such file or directory

The /usr/lib/dovecot/pop3-login folder is not on my server.
I manually create folders - other similar messages appear.

How was the dovecot set? (Your libraries are missing or installed in the wrong place where dovecot expects them to be)
