[Dovecot] Problem with authentication?
We have things set up so Outlook and Outlook express are sending passwords via plain text, but Dovecot is saying the server was expecting an excrypted password -- can anyone help / give us a list of things to look at??? Hopefully,

Can you elaborate a bit on the protocol you want to use (POP/IMAP), whether SSL is enabled and what authentication options you use in dvoecot.conf ?

It's not true. Outlook sends password in login format, not plaintext as thunderbird (for example).

"login" format *is* plaintext (other than being Base64-encoded and null-delimited). The OP is having a problem that Dovecot expects the password to be encrypted, probably because of a misconfiguration.
