Greetings,
I am setting up Dovecot 1.0.15 on my home Fedora Core 8 pc ONLY to
access my mail archives across several mail clients. No access from
the internet is possible or needed here.
I cannot log in with any client, the login always fails.
I forgot to add that, _before_ I changed the password and user files
to what I reported, that is when the defaults in dovecot.conf were for
authorization with system usernames and passwords, everything was
fine. Is when I changed the auth mechanism that problem started.
