Hi again Timo,
Yep. Looks like you're right. After my post yesterday I changed something and now nothing works.
Looks like I'll have to dig a little deeper on the docs.
Thank you again,
s.

"postmaster" doesn't exist in /etc/dovecot/passwd file.

I guess you mean you set auth { mechanisms = digest-md5 }? Yeah, that'll cause plaintext auth attempts to fail and probably isn't what you wanted. http://wiki.dovecot.org/Authentication may be helpful.
