For what it's worth:

We use postgres userlookups, and use an older version of dovecot (an old cvs version of around 0.99.9.1), and we DO use digest-md5 password encryption in the database and realms. It seems to work flawlessly in our situation, I used kmail, evolution, apple-mail, entourage, outlook, outlook-express and mutt.

Have there been changes in the digest-md5 code since 0.99.9.1 ?

Kind regards,

The problem is not with passwords that are stored in the db in digest-md5 format (i.e., as an md5 hash of user:realm:password), but with dovecot's password_generate() that takes the username and password and hashes it on the fly.
