Dovecot (IMAP Server) has a nice feature. When something goes wrong it attaches a URL to error message. This URL goes to a dedicated page in their Wiki.

This dedicated page contains possible causes & solutions to the problem. Instead of leaving users on their own, Dovecot provides a nice starting point for troubleshooting.

Lastly, Dovecots error reporting language makes whole process much less stressful (e.g. Instead of "X didin't work, terminating" the use "Something went wrong and X failed. Con continue, must exit (for more information see )
