Hi List , I run Debian GNU/Linux 7 and i have followed the guide on workaround dot org and at the end of it i have authentications issues with thunderbird .On workaround there is a local test for authentication and it was successfull .Thunderbird says: "the IMAP server doesn't support the selected authentication method ,please change the authetntication method .... " I have tried all of clear, starttls and ssl/tls .

dovecot 10-auth.conf is set:

disable_plaintext_auth = yes auth_mechanisms = plain login !include auth-sql.conf.ext

auth-sql.conf.ex has:

passdb { driver = sql

# Path for SQL configuration file, see example-config/dovecot-sql.conf.ext args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf.ext }

userdb { driver = static args = uid=vmail gid=vmail home=/var/vmail/%d/%n }

My dovecot-sql.conf.ext content is:

driver = mysql connect = host=127.0.0.1 dbname=maildb user=userdb password=123456789 default_pass_scheme = PLAIN-MD5 password_query = SELECT email as user, password FROM virtual_users WHERE email='%u';

and dovecot -n says:

All help will be appreciated Regards
