Are you using latest version of dovecot? Which mail client you are using? If you are using latest version of dovecot and thunder bird as a client then in account setting change authentication method from none to encrypted password.

The stock toaster does by default. Is the service running? Is the port open? (firewall?) Can you telnet to it from the inside? Outside? You need to check these things. More than likely an external router isn't forwarding that port. Are you using dovecot instead of courier for imap? If your users have large mailboxes, you should strongly consider it. -- -Eric 'shubes' ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----- I can telnet in port 143 from inside and outside the server. I just cannot get logged in. It is like it is not accepting my password for some reason. I have checked the imap4 and imap4-ssl logs and am not even seeing the attempt. As soon as I change my port on the client side to 993 it works perfectly. Here is my dovecot config: ## Dovecot configuration file # Base directory where to store runtime data. base_dir = /var/run/dovecot/ imap_client_workarounds = delay-newmail outlook-idle # Protocols we want to be serving: imap imaps pop3 pop3s # If you only want to use dovecot-auth, you can set this to "none". protocols = imap imaps ## ## Logging ## log_path = /dev/stderr info_log_path = /dev/stderr log_timestamp = "" ## ## SSL settings ## #ssl_disable = no ssl_cert_file = /var/qmail/control/servercert.pem ssl_key_file = /var/qmail/control/servercert.pem ssl_cipher_list = ALL:!LOW verbose_ssl = yes ## ## Login processes ## login_dir = /usr/local/var/run/dovecot/login login_user = dovecot login_process_per_connection = yes login_processes_count = 3 login_max_processes_count = 128 login_greeting = Dovecot ready. login_log_format_elements = user= method=%m rip=%r lip=%l %c ## ## Mailbox locations and namespaces ## mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir namespace private { separator = . prefix = INBOX. inbox = yes } ## ## Mail processes ## verbose_proctitle = yes first_valid_uid = 89 last_valid_uid = 89 ## ## Authentication processes ## disable_plaintext_auth = yes auth default { mechanisms = plain login digest-md5 cram-md5 passdb vpopmail { args = } userdb vpopmail { } user = vpopmail count = 1 ssl_require_client_cert = no } ## END Thanks, Scott --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Qmailtoaster is sponsored by Vickers Consulting Group (www.vickersconsulting.com) Vickers Consulting Group offers Qmailtoaster support and installations.
