Thank you for the patch, my mail server is up and running again. Now I am back to my previous problem: I am not able to log in with Thunderbird. Thunderbird issues the capability command which is not answered by Dovecot. Here is a session transcript using openssl s_client.
- OK Dovecot ready. 1 capability
- OK Waiting for authentication process to respond.. 2 CAPABILITY
- OK Waiting for authentication process to respond.. quit
- OK Waiting for authentication process to respond.. QUIT DONE
Well, it gives the reason there. How long have you tried to wait? If it's not ever replying, there's something wrong with dovecot-auth. This happens to me sometimes after Dovecot has just been started, but it starts responding within a couple of seconds.
What passdb and userdb are you using? Maybe check with "strace -p" what the dovecot-auth is doing. Maybe it's trying to connect to some SQL or LDAP database and it's taking.
