[root@sewebt home]# It fails!! Some problem with the 110 port? Check the dovecot log. Authentication errors at the client side are
deliberately vague for security reasons. The actual reason for your
failure to authenticate will be in the server mail logs. Check /var/log/maillog, or look at your syslog config to see where it is
going. Regards,
