[Dovecot] Asking for password

[Aziz KNINA]

Hi,
I have made some changes in dovecot.conf
dovecot -n gives the following:
# 1.0.13: /usr/local/etc/dovecot.conf
base_dir: /var/run/dovecot/
protocols: imap pop3
ssl_disable: yes
disable_plaintext_auth: no
login_dir: /var/run/dovecot/login
login_executable(default): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap-login
login_executable(imap): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap-login
login_executable(pop3): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/pop3-login
mail_privileged_group: mail
mail_location: INBOX=/var/spool/mail/$u
mail_executable(default): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap
mail_executable(imap): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap
mail_executable(pop3): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/pop3
mail_plugin_dir(default): /usr/local/lib/dovecot/imap
mail_plugin_dir(imap): /usr/local/lib/dovecot/imap
mail_plugin_dir(pop3): /usr/local/lib/dovecot/pop3
pop3_uidl_format(default):
pop3_uidl_format(imap):
pop3_uidl_format(pop3): %m
auth default:
  mechanisms: plain login
  username_format: %n
  passdb:
    driver: shadow
  userdb:
    driver: passwd

now when I test the connection via outlook, it's ok, but when I want to
perform the steps from http://wiki.dovecot.org/TestPop3Installation; the
connection get closed.
the commands made are:
telnet my.server 110
user username
+OK (i get this from the server)
pass password
+OK

connection closed!!!!

I do not understand why!!!

Is there any thing to change in the configuration?

RG,
Aziz
