Hello,

I have recently upgraded to macOS 10.14 (Mojave) and am running into an issue where one use can no longer log into dovecot via imap. Log shows

... Any help appreciated Heiko

This came up on the list a few months ago. See thread with subject "dying on osx” on 11 August and 4 September 2018.

The only way I managed to get it to work was by changing default_login_user and default_internal_user to my username.

As you say, wasn’t an issue with earlier versions of macOS X.

Any solution would be most appreciated.

James.
