[Dovecot] Imap auth problems
Hi,
We're having some really weird auth problems trying to setup a very
basic dovecot imap server.
Even stranger is that we don't see any of the debug information in the
logs even though we've set all the debug options to true.
Can anybody provide some suggestions.
Thanks,
-Noah
Our log files just show this:

The client simply disconnects without even attempting to log in.
ssl_disable: yes
The client has no way of logging in, because you you've disabled SSL and by default plaintext authentication is also disabled. You probably want to set disable_plaintext_auth=no.
That makes a lot of sense.
Thanks!!
