[Dovecot] Upgraded dovecot - now it insists on imap TLS
This is definitely an operator error issue, but I'm under a bit of pressure. I updated our 1.1.20 installation to 2.0.1 over the weekend and discovered this morning that it's insisting on TLS imap on port 143 as well as port 993 What am I missing? Thanks in advance Alan

It would, but I found/fixed the problem already.
I had to set the following:
protocol imap {
disable_plaintext_auth=no
}
The default has changed from no to yes between 1.1.20 and 2.0.1, but
the conversion routine didn't pick it up (the wiki Documentation
suggests the default is still no. Perhaps this should be updated?)
This still requires TLS on port 993, so there's no additional hole opened.
Ironically, we published plans some time back to disable local-access
plaintext imap logins in October and have been warning users to change
their settings but 90% of them hadn't yet done so.

No it didn't. The default has always been yes since the first Dovecot
version.
