As batory said, my problem is dovecot is not running properly. This is causing really headache cause I cant seem to find settings that run with new 2.2.9 configurations.
My goal is only to use dovecot with Thunderbird to fetch email trough imap, no sql setting.
Follwing Ubuntu own dovecot guide has not helped me either
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Dovecot
This is 2014 setting for dovecot.conf but its still not working for me.
Quote:
!include conf.d/*.conf
protocols = imap
disable_plaintext_auth = no
ssl = no
log_path = /var/log/dovecot
mail_location = maildir:/home/%u/Maildir
protocol lda {
hostname = mail.primary_domain.tld
postmaster_address = postmaster@mysite.com
auth_socket_path = /var/run/dovecot/auth-master
mail_plugin_dir = /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/
mail_plugins = cmusieve
}

This is the error i get from this dovecot.conf setting when i do service dovecot start after stopping.

Fatal: Dovecot is already running with PID 5390 (read from /var/run/dovecot/master.pid)

service dovecot restart
