I have dovecot setup for:

auth_mechanisms = plain login

The iphone offers the following:
- password
- Apple Token
- MD5 Challenge-Response
- NTLM
- HTTP MD5 Digest

Im set for password, which I assumed was plaintext which should match
my plain mechanism.  Im using an AES_DECRYPT in my SQL statement to
get the password however, maybe this is part of my issue:

password_query = SELECT AES_DECRYPT(password, 'xxx') AS password, \
    userid AS user \
	FROM users WHERE userid='%u' AND AES_DECRYPT(password, 'xxx')='%w'

This is the first time Im attempting to use SQL with SSL.
