protocols = imap pop3
listen = *, ::
base_dir = /var/run/dovecot/
!include conf.d/*.conf

useradd admin worked fine:
# service vesta start
[ ok ] Starting vesta-nginx: vesta-nginx.
[ ok ] Starting vesta-php: vesta-php.

that worked;
# /etc/init.d/dovecot restart
[ ok ] Restarting IMAP/POP3 mail server: dovecot.

Is dovecot the last step in the installation? seems that it stopped at dovecot?
