Hi,

Im attempting to configure dovecot for the first time, Im trying to
use a MySQL DB that is currently used by tpop3d as Ive read they
support the same password format. My main prob currently, apart from that it doesnt work lol, is that
Ive enabled the following debugging in dovecot.conf

auth_debug = yes auth_debug_passwords = yes auth_verbose = yes

But Im getting basically zero info on why my authentication is
failing. In my log (which for testing Ive defined as a file in /tmp
to make sure Im getting all the info logged to one place) I see just:

Mar 31 19:00:17 dovecot: Info: Dovecot v1.2.10 starting up Mar 31 19:00:17 auth-worker(default): Info: mysql: Connected to
localhost (ukgri d_vmail) Mar 31 19:00:18 auth(default): Info: new auth connection: pid=64188 Mar 31 19:00:18 auth(default): Info: new auth connection: pid=64186 Mar 31 19:00:18 auth(default): Info: new auth connection: pid=64187

each time I attempt to connect via IMAP it adds another new auth
connection line to the log but doesnt tell me anything else :(. So
Im stuck debugging my authentication due to lack of info. BTW Im
testing IMAP via telnet, telnet to IMAP port and attempt LOGIN (I
have this working to a courier IMAP installation). Have I done
something wrong? Any help appreciated!

thanks Andy.

Pleas post the result of:

# dovecot -n
