Hi,

I have a login issue. I do everything I can think of, but can't login. 
My .conf file is at http://kabuto.kunduz.org/dovecot.conf and I make 
slight changes everytime I try a new thing. I last set 
disable_plaintext_auth to yes and when I try to login using Thunderbird, 
I get

*Code:*
Sending of username did not succeed. Mail server mail.somedomain.org 
responded: Plaintext authentication disabled.


, and dovecot.log reads

*Code:*
Info: pop3-login: Login failed: Plaintext authentication disabled: 
method=PLAIN, rip=212.98.201.1, lip=192.168.1.2.


When I set disable_plaintext_auth to no and try again, I get

*Code:*
Sending of password did not succeed. Mail server mail.somedomain.org 
responded: Authentication failed


and dovecot.log reads

*Code:*
dovecot: Jun 07 16:05:45 Info: auth(default): client in: AUTH   1      
 PLAIN   service=POP3    lip=192.168.1.2 rip=212.98.201.1

Can you help me with this? Sorry that it is long, but it was the only 
way to describe completely.

Best regards,
