Hi List ,
I run Debian GNU/Linux 7 and i have followed the guide on workaround
dot org and at the end of it i have authentications issues with
thunderbird .On workaround there is a
local test for authentication and it was successfull .Thunderbird says:
"the IMAP server doesn't support the selected authentication method
,please change the authetntication method .... " I have tried all of
clear, starttls and ssl/tls .

dovecot 10-auth.conf is set:

> disable_plaintext_auth = yes auth_mechanisms = plain login !include
> auth-sql.conf.ext

auth-sql.conf.ex has:

> passdb { driver = sql
> 
> # Path for SQL configuration file, see
> example-config/dovecot-sql.conf.ext args =
> /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf.ext }

> userdb { driver = static args = uid=vmail gid=vmail
> home=/var/vmail/%d/%n }

My dovecot-sql.conf.ext content is:

> driver = mysql connect = host=127.0.0.1 dbname=maildb user=userdb 
> password=123456789 default_pass_scheme = PLAIN-MD5 password_query
> = SELECT email as user, password FROM virtual_users WHERE
> email='%u';

and dovecot -n says:

> # 2.1.7: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 3.2.0-4-686-pae i686
> Debian 7.6 ext3 auth_mechanisms = plain login mail_location =

All help will be appreciated
