As expected.

doveconf -a shows all DEFAULT settings

doveconf -n shows your custom/current settings being used by the running
dovecot system.

What does doveconf -n show?

Cannot make disable_plaintext_auth = no works in configuration

Hi,
No matter how I try, I cannot make the config disable_plaintext_auth = no to 
work. I have set it up in 10-auth.conf but when I check with doveconf -a it is 
still disable_plaintext_auth = yes. Here is my config:
# 2.2.33.2 (d6601f4ec): /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf
# Pigeonhole version 0.4.21 (92477967)
# OS: Linux 4.15.0-36-generic x86_64 Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS 
auth_mechanisms = plain login

}
protocol imap {

  mail_max_userip_connections = 10
}
protocol pop3 {
  mail_max_userip_connections = 10

Please help!
Thanks so much
