Apologies - maybe doveconf -n shows a hint at the problem?
Maybe it has to do with I'm using the default_realm? But I've tried adding the user as both the local part, and with the fqdn...

Hello Charles,
the bare minimum ist just the first passdb entry auth_master_user_separator = * passdb { driver = passwd-file args = /etc/dovecot/passwd.masterusers master = yes pass = yes }
this will do the trick. Ok, this isn't working, I'm getting auth failed when testing either with telnet or doing it in Thunderbird.
I tried both using the htpasswd method for generating the password in the passwd file, and when that failed, I also tried just putting the password in the file in plain text...
So... what am I missing/doing wrong?
Thanks,
Charles
