[Dovecot] dovecot only answers to imap connections
Hey list,
Finally got up and running, and now am trying to figure out why dovecot would only accept imap connections - I have people that are happy with pop, but they can only authenticate when they use imap.
Is there a conf setting for this somewhere that I am missing?

You have to set the 'protocols' field in dovecot.conf to include pop3 and/or pop3s. I also believe you have to uncomment the 'login-executable' line for pop3.

Thanks Saurabh!
That was the ticket.
However, some clients mention that they get authentication errors, but only intermittently. Could that have something to do with the way dovecod authenticates pop clients?

Dovecot 0.99.x doesn't support initial reponses in SASL authentication, which some clients use. The easiest fix would be: http://dovecot.org/patches/sasl-auth.diff
Hmm. Perhaps I should still put out 0.99.12..
Please do :) that's the only thing that prevent dovecot from being officially deployed here, our ceo use mac/eudora/pops that doesn't play well dovecot. imaps works fine here. And it seems that 1.0tests are too scary to go production...
I'll apply the diff and see if it works with Eudora 6.2.
