Hello All. I've been reading the virtual user howto but cant get the login working. dovecot.conf is below [0] if anyone can offer some pointers.

I'm confused about the format of /etc/imap.passwd [1] also. Does the "pass" word in the example need to be plaintext, or the MD5 string from do. Also, what is the significance of "{plain}"?

If there are docs I've missed, please RTFM with a link. Thanks
