I raised a new profile, but couldn't get it to work using an empty password. I tried using a password of anonymous, and Thunderbird is now Downloading message header 24888 of 59255 Thanks again.

If the client does not support this auth method, authentication is denied because login is disabled and starttls or ssl to get AUTH PLAIN or AUTH LOGIN is not enabled. Guess configuration does not match the documentation. At least it does not work for me too because my client does not support AUTH ANONYMOUS.

[Dovecot] Problem accessing Dovecot mailing lists via IMAP
I recently tried to look at the Dovecot mailing lists through an already-configured IMAP profile, which had worked fine in the past. But it failed saying that the authentication method was not supported. http://www.dovecot.org/mailinglists.html says: You can get access to the IMAP archives by using *dovecot.org* as the hostname, *anonymous* as the username and an empty password. It's also possible to use ANONYMOUS authentication mechanism if your client supports it (few do). I noticed that my e-mail client was configured to use the server imap.dovecot.org, so I changed it to dovecot.org. But it still complains that the authentication method is not supported. I am using Thunderbird 3.1 over Windows 7 64-bit. Thunderbird was configured for Password, Transmitted insecurely (and this option was not working). I have tried the other authentication options available in Thunderbird. Encrypted password: Does not work; same problem Kerberos / GSSAPI: Does not work; same problem NTLM: Does not work; same problem Any ideas? Bill
