Hi

I have just upgraded a mail server from dovecot-0.99 to stable 
(dovecot-1.0.59).

My normal desktop email client, kmail is working fine, but outlook keeps 
producing PLAIN authentication errors, and refusing to authenticate.

From dovecot.log, I can see

dovecot: Mar 13 10:57:30 Error: auth(default): sql(<xxxxxxxMy 
Detailsxxxxxxxxxxx>): Password query must return a field named "password"

I have tried setting, unsetting disable_plaintext_auth in dovecot.conf, to no 
avail.

What is happening, and what should I do to get all email cleints to work.

Simon
