[Dovecot] Cannot get plaintext auth working on IMAP or POP

[crunchbytes]

Server: Ubuntu 9.04 desktop edition
Dovecot 1.1.11

Issue: I have set dovecot.conf with:
disable_plaintext_auth = no

but everytime I have a client (Windows Live Mail, ubuntu evolution) connect
from the Internet, I have the following type of message: Plaintext
authentication disallowed on non-secure (SSL/TLS) connections.

in my mail.log, I have:
Jul 28 15:09:43 "name" dovecot: imap-login: Disconnected (tried to use
disabled plaintext auth): rip=x.x.x.x, lip=x.x.x.x

Unfortunately I need plaintext auth IMAP.

If I VPN in and use IMAPS, it works a treat - but I can't always do this,
hence needing plain old IMAP.

Any ideas anyone?  What am I missing?

Cheers, Richard
