Tahnan, With stock qmail & dovecot I was able to login to squirrelmail with password 'X' logout, change password in qmailadmin to password 'Y', and login to squirrelmail with password 'Y'
Then, to my preference, I changed /etc/dovecot/toaster.conf setting auth_mechanisms = plain login digest-md5 cram-md5 to auth_mechanisms = plain login and changed /etc/squirrelmail/config_local.php setting $smtpServerAddress = 'localhost'; $smtpPort = 587; $smtp_auth_mech = 'plain'; $imap_auth_mech = 'digest-md5'; to $smtpServerAddress = 'localhost'; $smtpPort = 25; $smtp_auth_mech = 'none'; $imap_auth_mech = 'login'; Re-tested and all worked as it should and as you would like it to work. Send your dovecot (toaster.conf) and squirrelmail (config_local.php) configs to my personal email and I'll have a look Eric On Sat, Aug 31, 2019 at 12:59 AM Tahnan Al Anas <tah...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi Eric, > > I tried below settings but still I am getting the same error as below > > *ERROR:* > Bad request: IMAP server does not appear to support the authentication > method selected.
