Hello,
thank You for helping me.
I did not remember the version before the update. I use FreeBSD 11.0. The OS tells me, from time to time, there are updates to do.
So it was and I have also compiled dovecot via the FreeBSD ports system with some others.
These are my settings:
[/usr/ports/mail/dovecot2] => make showconfig
===> The following configuration options are available for dovecot2-2.2.30.2:
DOCS =on: Build and/or install documentation
EXAMPLES =on: Build and/or install examples
KQUEUE =on: kqueue(2) support
LIBWRAP =on: TCP wrapper support
LZ4 =off: LZ4 compression support
VPOPMAIL =off: vpopmail support
====> Database support
CDB =off: CDB database support
LDAP =on: LDAP protocol support
MYSQL =on: MySQL database support
PGSQL =off: PostgreSQL database support
SQLITE =off: SQLite database support
====> Full text search plugins
ICU =off: Use libicu for FTS unicode normalization
LUCENE =off: CLucene FTS support
SOLR =off: Solr FTS support
TEXTCAT =off: Libtextcat FTS support
====> GSSAPI Security API support: you have to select exactly one of them
GSSAPI_NONE =off: Build without GSSAPI support
GSSAPI_BASE =off: Use GSSAPI from base
GSSAPI_HEIMDAL=off: Use Heimdal GSSAPI from security/heimdal
GSSAPI_MIT =on: Use MIT GSSAPI from security/krb5
Today the error has gone. I DO NOT know why.
Yesterday I had make some more other updates for i.e. for llvm... + openjdk7....
with
# portupgrade -r ( r means recursive).
It takes very long time and the terminal-session was broken so the connection was lost.
Today I come back and take a look. it seems that it has finished and I go on to find out the dovecot error.
I do then:
#gdb --args /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap -u <username>@domain.tld
But "auth" like this: " Error: auth: environment corrupt; missing value "
was no more broken. But there was some rights not ok for the users db.
I changed this and try again
#gdb --args /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap -u <username>@domain.tld
wow: I get a login. Then without changing any settings in dovecot I try the Outlook client............
.........and it works ???
I don't know what it was. I could not figure out what was the authorize problem because of to less debug information.
When I have not program this software an error message like this "Fatal: Couldn't connect to auth socket" is not very helpful,
also there are in /var/run/dovecot 7 auth sockets and more then 38 sockets in all ?!
If you have an idea, how I could better debug this please tell me.
But again, thank for trying helping me.
Harald

Could you post the output of "doveconf -n". Please also describe from which version you upgraded to v2.2.30.2 and how you did the upgrade? Are you compiling Dovecot yourself? What are the configuration & compilation options etc.
