Hi All,
My Dovecot was working I made a change and receive this error
Sep 13 17:01:42 geomail dovecot: imap-login: Internal login failure
(auth failed, 1 attempts): user=<user>, method=PLAIN,
rip=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx, lip=192.168.1.80, TLS
Sep 13 17:01:43 geomail dovecot: dovecot: Relative home directory
paths not supported (user user):
I had changed
mechanisms = plain
to
mechanisms = plain login
I removed the extra login and it still reports the same error, I must
have changed something else by mistake, but I just cannot see what I
have done, I was stupid and the backup config is older and not working
properly with shared files:-(
dovecot -n gives
