[Dovecot] Warning, newbie!

[Pete]

Greetings All,

I am a Postfix/Courier-IMAP user and am interested in Dovecot.  I have
install Dovecot via FBSD ports.  I have got to the part where I can
telnet in to the server.

-bash-2.05b$ telnet 192.168.1.61 143
Trying 192.168.1.61...
Connected to 192.168.1.61.
Escape character is '^]'.
* OK dovecot ready.
x login pete testing
* BAD [ALERT] Plaintext authentication is disabled, but your client
sent password in plaintext anyway.If anyone was listening, the
password was exposed.
x NO Plaintext authentication disabled.
x logout
* BYE Logging out
x OK Logout completed.
Connection closed by foreign host.
-bash-2.05b$ 


I am afraid I dont know what to do from here.  Anyone care to assist me?

Thanks,
--
