I floundered with something that looked like this before. Verify all your permissions carefully and your dovecot transport in master.cf. You may find something I didn't, but I resolved the problem by making deliver suid. I can't decide whether I have introduced a security flaw I need to be concerned about here or not.

There must be somethng wrong with the way this is configured. I have to have:

 disable_plaintext_auth = no

In my dovecot.conf file or else this is all I get when I attempt to POP email:

 +OK Dovecot ready. [ISafe POP3 Proxy] 
 USER bud
 -ERR Plaintext authentication disabled.
 QUIT
 +OK Logging out

I am unable to use TLS with Dovecot, although it does work with Postfix.
