Re: [Dovecot] dovecot: pop3-login: Disconnected (tried to use disabled plaintext auth): method=PLAIN

Yep - despite the above, I still get mail. And from my conf files, plain auth is disabled. Should I re-port my conf file in case I missed something?

So you successfully get mail via your pop client in spite of the above.

My guess is somehow the client first tries plain authentication without STARTTLS before trying STARTTLS.

In my case with pop3 and T'bird I use

Port 995 Connection security: SSL/TLS Authentication: Normal password

I haven't tried port 110 and STARTTLS (mostly I use IMAP anyway).
