-Dovecot version 2.4.0 seems to have broken the configuration files from 2.3.x and earlier.  Alpine Linux version 3.22 from May 2025 used Dovecot 2.4.1 and while I can use an older version of Alpine eventually I would need to upgrade Dovecot to the new configuration file syntax.  Basically Dovecot now recommends placing all configuration in one configuration file instead of many, ''/etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf''.  It does allow the previous  configuration files under /etc/dovecot/conf.d to be used by the directive ''!include conf.d/*.conf'' in the dovecot.conf file.  The later directives will overwrite previous. Below is a copy on my update dovecot.conf file that appears to function on Dovecot 2.4.1.
