I am so confused.
Can someone help me out here?
I have set it up so that it is to accept login via PLAIN TEXT.
I am using Thunderbird to connect, and it will ask for my password (the username is already in the system)
I get a pop-up for
Enter the password for Username on Domain.com
I enter my password (the same I would use to login to FTP) and it fails.
Any thoughts?

Which version of Dovecot?
I believe there was a safety put in to stop plain text auth on unencrypted (non-SSL) connections. But do you mean plain text passwords in the database, or plain text auth?
I'm currently runnig 0.99.14 for a small company, (almost) all the clients are Thunderbird, and it's having no problems.

Hello Adam,

Okay, so you have the following options set in dovecot.conf:
disable_plaintext_auth = no
auth default { # Space separated list of wanted authentication mechanisms: # plain digest-md5 cram-md5 apop anonymous mechanisms = plain }
I enter my password (the same I would use to login to FTP) and it fails. Any thoughts?
I'd recommend turning on the following debug options and then watching the dovecot.log:
auth_verbose = yes (verbose_ssl = yes)
Thanks, Tero
