[Dovecot] using palm pre client with imap server
Hello
Anyone here tried to use palm pre built-in email client with imap server (TLS)? Mine does not work; only one line in the log.
imap-login: Disconnected (no auth attempts): rip=xxx.xxx.19.21, lip=xxx.yyy.zzz.aaa

I have a Palm Pre (Sprint, WebOS 1.4.5) and it seems to work just fine against Dovecot (Debian's 1.2.13 build, or a custom 1.2.13 build under RHEL) using TLS.

My dovecot is using plain text password scheme over TLS . Is yours the same?
FWIW I tried to use an android phone against IMAP and on that client "secure connection" turns out to be something other than TLS/SSL. Only if I uncheck that android phone can connect to dovecot although it does use TLS even though "secure connection" is unchecked.
Thanks

My dovecot is using plain text password scheme over TLS . Is yours the same? Yes. On one of the servers, using a private CA, I did have to install the CA cert on the Pre as Grégory suggested.

Strange. I don't have an Android phone, though, so I can' t really comment.

I use an Android phone (2.2 now but originally set up under 2.1). My Dovecot server uses a self signed certificate. When I tried to set up IMAP access to dovecot using plain text passwords and TLS (disable_plaintext_auth = yes) with the android built in client, it would just silently fail. I switched to K-9 mail, and it asked me if I wanted to accept the self signed certificate; I said yes, and it works fine.

+1
I wouldn't even try to use anything other than K-9 mail on an android phone... works great - *much* better than the built-in one.

Yup, got one and it is working fine. Have you added you CA certificate into the phone trusted list if it a homemade one ? I recall having to do that, and it seems that the error was the same.
Cheers, Grégory
