Re: Issue connecting to dovecot from remote machine
Thanks for your reply Steffen. Well I basically uninstalled everything and started from scratch. it now works just fine. I guess I messed something up along the way the first time.

Issue connecting to dovecot from remote machine
Hi, I've set up a postfix +dovecot configuration on my debian jessie. But I have a connection issue. When I try to connect from thunderbird it doesn not work. When I check out my debug logs I get : auth-worker(22252): Info: pam(myuser,hostIP): pam_authenticate() failed: Authentication failure (password mismatch?) (given password: correctPassword) Running doveadm auth test tells me I can authenticate with the same password. So I tried connecting via openssl. When I connect from my local host, everything goes fine : * OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 LITERAL+ SASL-IR LOGIN-REFERRALS ID ENABLE IDLE AUTH=PLAIN AUTH=LOGIN AUTH=CRAM-MD5] Dovecot ready. a login myUser myPassword a OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 LITERAL+ SASL-IR LOGIN-REFERRALS ID ENABLE IDLE SORT SORT=DISPLAY THREAD=REFERENCES THREAD=REFS THREAD=ORDEREDSUBJECT MULTIAPPEND URL-PARTIAL CATENATE UNSELECT CHILDREN NAMESPACE UIDPLUS LIST-EXTENDED I18NLEVEL=1 CONDSTORE QRESYNC ESEARCH ESORT SEARCHRES WITHIN CONTEXT=SEARCH LIST-STATUS SPECIAL-USE BINARY MOVE] Logged in But when I run the same thing from my remote laptop, I never get any reply from the imap server. It's as if the request wasn't reaching the server. Although I do get a first reply from the server, I just can't log in. * OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 LITERAL+ SASL-IR LOGIN-REFERRALS ID ENABLE IDLE AUTH=PLAIN AUTH=LOGIN AUTH=CRAM-MD5] Dovecot ready. a login myUser myPassword (... and then nothing...) The port is properly open when I run nmap. I really don't get what's wrong. Any of you has any idea?
