Migrated a 1.0.2 server to 2.0.16 (same old box). IMAP seems working Ok. POP3 give problems with some clients (Outlook 2010 and Thunderbird reported). Seems authentication problem Below my doveconf -n (debug enbled, but no answer found to the problems)
What do the logs say when a client logs in? The debug logs should tell everything.
Yes, but my problem is that this is a production server with a really fast increasing log, so (in my limited skill of dovecot), I have some difficult to select interesting rows from it (I hoped this period was less busy, but my customers don't have the same idea ... ;-) ) Thanks for hints in selecting interesting rows.
doveconf: Warning: NOTE: You can get a new clean config file with: doveconf -n > dovecot-new.conf
You should do this and replace your old dovecot.conf with the new generated one.
userdb { driver = passwd } userdb { driver = passwd }
Also remove the duplicated userdb passwd.
This was an experimental configs manually derived from old 1.0.2 (mix of old working and new).
If I replace it with a new config (below), authentication seems Ok, but fetch of mail from client is very slow (compared with old 1.0.2).
Thanks for your very fast support ;-)
