Hi,

> I'm new to the list and have a most irritating problem.  Suddenly, the
IMAP service refuses to authenticate users.  This was not a problem
yesterday, everything worked fine on the default install.  I updated win2k3
last night, rebooted and poof, no more IMAP.  I get the following error when
connecting (no change from yesterday) via Outlook:
>
[....]
>
> Manually connecting via telneting to port 143 yields similar results:
> NO LOGIN: Invalid userid/password
>
> Whats strange is that web mail works just fine.  I've tried multiple
databases for users/passwords, stopped/restarted the service countless
times, reinstalled over the top of IMail in the hopes that these would fix
it.  I've scoured the kb and internet and found nothing like this.

The time this happended to me was last week when we switched ip numbers. The
dns was pointing to the wrong ip number. However, webservices will
authenticate using the url entered to access the server, in my case
mail.tio.nl, no matter on which ip number the server has been reached, in
this case the number of the primary domain. However, IMAP will use the ip
number and ended up on the wrong domain, mailie.tio.nl. Therefore
authenticating using the webinterface went flawlesly, authenticating IMAP
ans POP3 did not work.

Met vriendelijke groet,

Bonno Bloksma
