Hi, I'm a new user of Dovecot. I have installed it in a server in combination of Postfix. I have created a system user and given him a password, this is a final user. when I try to add the account in my mail client (outlook), I get the window of authentication asking for password, even if I enter the correct password, this window does not disappear. below my configuration. dovecot --version: 1.0.13 dovecot -n: # 1.0.13: /usr/local/etc/dovecot.conf base_dir: /var/run/dovecot/ protocols: imap pop3 ssl_disable: yes disable_plaintext_auth: no login_dir: /var/run/dovecot/login login_executable(default): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap-login login_executable(imap): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap-login login_executable(pop3): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/pop3-login mail_privileged_group: mail mail_location: INBOX=/var/spool/mail/$u mail_executable(default): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap mail_executable(imap): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap mail_executable(pop3): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/pop3 mail_plugin_dir(default): /usr/local/lib/dovecot/imap mail_plugin_dir(imap): /usr/local/lib/dovecot/imap mail_plugin_dir(pop3): /usr/local/lib/dovecot/pop3 pop3_uidl_format(default): pop3_uidl_format(imap): pop3_uidl_format(pop3): %m auth default: passdb: driver: pam userdb: driver: passwd

Can you login on console with this user?

Hi, I have made some changes in dovecot.conf dovecot -n gives the following: # 1.0.13: /usr/local/etc/dovecot.conf base_dir: /var/run/dovecot/ protocols: imap pop3 ssl_disable: yes disable_plaintext_auth: no login_dir: /var/run/dovecot/login login_executable(default): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap-login login_executable(imap): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap-login login_executable(pop3): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/pop3-login mail_privileged_group: mail mail_location: INBOX=/var/spool/mail/$u mail_executable(default): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap mail_executable(imap): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap mail_executable(pop3): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/pop3 mail_plugin_dir(default): /usr/local/lib/dovecot/imap mail_plugin_dir(imap): /usr/local/lib/dovecot/imap mail_plugin_dir(pop3): /usr/local/lib/dovecot/pop3 pop3_uidl_format(default): pop3_uidl_format(imap): pop3_uidl_format(pop3): %m auth default: mechanisms: plain login username_format: %n passdb: driver: shadow userdb: driver: passwd
now when I test the connection via outlook, it's ok, but when I want to perform the steps from http://wiki.dovecot.org/TestPop3Installation; the connection get closed. the commands made are: telnet my.server 110 user username +OK (i get this from the server) pass password +OK
connection closed!!!!
I do not understand why!!!
Is there any thing to change in the configuration?
RG, Aziz
