Hi.
It didn't work. I tried first with {EXTERNAL} and then with {PLAIN} the
result below was the same in both cases.
---
* OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 LITERAL+ SASL-IR LOGIN-REFERRALS ID ENABLE
AUTH=EXTERNAL] Dovecot ready.
a LOGIN username-from-cert ""
a NO [ALERT] Unsupported authentication mechanism.
DONE

Thanks
