Hi,
In an IRC channel, I've been told to uncomment args = dovecot and replace it with args = *. Now I don't get any errors remotely on Thunderbird side, however I get the following messages in /var/log/dovecot.log
dovecot: Jun 08 13:14:15 Info: auth(default): client in: AUTH 1

dovecot: Jun 08 13:14:15 Error: child 11478 (pop3) returned error 89
What's this error 89 and how can I fix it?

Hi,
I have a login issue. I do everything I can think of, but can't login. My .conf file is at http://kabuto.kunduz.org/dovecot.conf and I make slight changes everytime I try a new thing. I last set disable_plaintext_auth to yes and when I try to login using Thunderbird, I get

and dovecot.log reads

Best regards,
This looks like either pam isn't configured properly or you're sending the wrong password.
have you checked /etc/pam.d/dovecot to make sure it's configured properly? if /etc/pam.d/dovecot doesn't exist, but /etc/pam.d/imap and /etc/pam.d/pop3 do exist then consult the documentation for configuring dovecot to use service specific pam modules.
