Assuming you have a sensible local transport such as something like:

local_delivery:
   driver = appendfile
   file = /var/mail/$local_part
   delivery_date_add
   envelope_to_add
   return_path_add
   group = mail
   mode = 0660

The following will should help you get Dovecot working:

(Apologies for the formal tone -it's cut and pasted from some 
documentation I'm in the middle of writing for Exim)

To install on RedHat and Fedora Core:
up2date dovecot* <enter>    or
yum -y install dovecot* <enter>

Debian and Ubuntu:
apt-get install dovecot-imapd <enter>

BSD users may need to use the pkg_add facility with a downloaded copy of 
the Dovecot binaries from the main Dovecot site.

Usually Dovecot will start with little or no modification.

On the rare occasions it doesn't start, it's usually because of an error 
regarding SSL or IPv6.

Disabling SSL and IPv6 (which are not essential for testing purposes) 
can be achieved by changing the following settings in:

   /etc/dovecot.conf or /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf

To disable SSL support use the following settings:

protocols = pop3 imap
ssl_disable = yes

If you encounter IPv6 problems (Internet Protocol Version 6), tell 
Dovecot to listen on IPv4 only by changing:

imap_listen = [::]
pop3_listen = [::]

to

imap_listen = *
pop3_listen = *

If you have any more questions then mail me directly as this isnt 
strictly relevant to the exim list.

Thanks
