[Dovecot] Password Encryption

[Dave Morrow]

Hi all.  I hope this is not a RTFM-type question, but I've been unable
to find a searchable archive of this mailing list.......

 

I recently began investigating using Dovecot/Postfix/MySQL solution.
I've been following the documentation
http://wiki.dovecot.org/HowTo/DovecotLDAPostfixAdminMySQL?highlight=%28m
ysql%29 

 

While everything seems to have gone right, I have been unable to
successfully login to the IMAP server using Outlook Express.  

 

It seems that the problem may relate to PostfixAdmin storing passwords
in the mysql database md5 encrypted, and Dovecot is not able to read
them, but I am not certain.

 

The error when a client logs in is something like 

dovecot: auth-worker(default): plain_md5_verify(testuser1 at mydomain.com):
Invalid password encoding
