From the config file:

# Disable LOGIN command and all other plaintext authentications unless
# SSL/TLS is used (LOGINDISABLED capability). Note that 127.*.*.* and
# IPv6 ::1 addresses are considered secure, this setting has no effect if
# you connect from those addresses.
disable_plaintext_auth = yes

When I do this both IMAP AND POP stop working. When I have it set to disable_plaintext_auth = no I can get POP working but IMAP throws back errors.

Any other thoughts?
