I have no idea where to even start to look for what is going on. Can anyone lead me in the right direction.

The email server has been up for almost 6 months with no problems...it started refusing POP/IMAP connections just a little while ago on all accounts.

Please help!

I just tried to connect using webmin and am getting 'listing' error due to refused connection there as well.

I am getting this error: Failed to connect to localhost:143 : Connection refused


Sounds like Dovecot isn't

Sounds like Dovecot isn't running at the moment -- try logging in over SSH, and running:

/etc/init.d/dovecot start
