I think I excluded all other cases now, because I installed cyrus-imapd and succeeded with a proxy between client and server. So there's definitely an issue with dovecot and the Avira AntiVir proxy. How can I succeed in getting dovecot working? May I help you with some debugging? cu - Michael

I've already tried that proxy together with uw-imapd and I succeeded in getting mails, it seems that there's an issue in the communication between that specific proxy and that specific pop3 server dovecot. I also tried pgp desktop as a pop3 proxy and that worked perfectly.
Maybe the issue is related to the fact that dovecot is located on a xenU domain, the rest is a pretty basic CentOS-4.4 installation.

Looks like a problem with the proxy to me - sending carriage returns after each character. You say 'as soon as the client uses some pop3 proxy,' but I wonder - have you actually tried another proxy, and have you tried this one with other pop servers? We know dovecot is working since you've stated as much, and all dovecot does is interpret what's sent to it over the socket...
