Hi,
last friday I upgraded from dovecot-2.3.10.1_2 to dovecot-2.3.11.3 (FreeBSD).
Since then, I started having some issues with some customers.
The log I see is like:
pop3-login: Disconnected (tried to use unsupported auth mechanism): user=<username@domain.it>, method=USER, rip=x,y,x,z, lip=x,y,w,z, session=<e5KkR5qto8hPAL9q>
While, before upgrade, same user logged succesfully:
pop3-login: Login: user=<username@domain.it>, method=PLAIN, rip=x,y,x,z, lip=x,y,w,z, mpid=62876, session=<dMRmGWCtFtJtdcy6>
The only thing that comes to mind is the pop3 issue where an auth attempt after a failed auth attempt would always fail. I'm not sure why the client that's having issues is failing the first attempt (unless it tries an unsupported mechanism first, and then tries to fall back to PLAIN). Anyway, there is a fix on the master branch.

You can try to patch the 2.3.11.3 code with it and see if that helps. 2.3.12 and 2.3.11.4 (if there is one) will have this fix.
