And then it shows the IP address of my server and my client. Icedove's error message is: You cannot log in to you.server.net because the server has disabled login. You may need to connect via SSL or TLS. Please check the account settings for your mail server. One detail I've left out, and the "cannot log in" error makes me wonder about it: My user is an LDAP account user, and I did not configure /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf. My reason for not configuring it was that dovecot seemed to work without it (but I initially used SSL, then TLS). ...Well, there goes that theory. I just created a local (non-ldap) user on the mail server and I get the same error when trying to connect without SSL or TLS. -Rob -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
