[Dovecot] outlook2003 fails sasl authentication

[Jens Meyer]

Hi!

I have a similar configuration - and run into the same problem before 
two weeks.

As I remember I expanded the following line in dovecot.conf:
-->
mechanisms = plain login
<--

It works for me and hopefully it is the correct solution (even if I am 
no dovecot-expert).

Kind regards,

      Jens
