[Dovecot] sending of password did not succeed
Hi
Today I have upgraded my Debian server from lenny to squeeze and my email stopped working.
I am using Dovecot 1.2.15 with exim4.
Exim4 is working and mail is being delivered to the mailboxes - /home/ didm.co.uk/peter/Maildir/new etc
When I try to download emails to my I get
"sending of password did not succeed, Mail server mail.didm.co.ukresponded:Authentication failed"
and the server Dovecot error log "utime(/home/didm.co.uk/peter/Maildir/tmp) failed: Permission denied" etc
Help please
Peter

and what says "stat /home/didm.co.uk/peter/Maildir/tmp" or "ls -lha -R /home/didm.co.uk/peter/"?

Hmm, are you sure, that the Dovecot log message is related to the login attempt?
Can you check how many login/imap/pop3 connections there are for user "peter"?
