Hi friends, Following the Workaround tutorial for Jessie (https://workaround.org/ispmail/jessie ) I've set up six month ago my first Postfix email server and all works very fine, except for the ability from the user to encrypt login password. I can use the encrypted login password with smtp (Postfix), but not with pop3 and imap (Dovecot). The certificates are from Letsencrypt.

I've read "http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Authentication/Mechanisms#Non-plaintext_authenticat..." and set

auth_mechanisms = plain login cram-md5

But with no luck,

If I try to connect to Dovecot from openssl obtain an error:

"Verify return code: 20 (unable to get local issuer certificate)"

And now, if I enable on the client (Tunderbird) the encrypted password obtain a message to reinsert the password

Here my Dovecot configuration:

doveconf -n # 2.2.13: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 3.16.0-4-amd64 x86_64 Debian 8.5 ext4 auth_mechanisms = plain login cram-md5 apop mail_location = maildir:/var/vmail/%d/%n/Maildir managesieve_notify_capability = mailto managesieve_sieve_capability = fileinto reject envelope encoded-character vacation subaddress comparator-i;ascii-numeric relational regex imap4flags copy include variables body enotify environment mailbox date ihave namespace inbox { inbox = yes location = mailbox Drafts { special_use = \Drafts } mailbox INBOX.Junk { auto = subscribe special_use = \Junk } mailbox INBOX.Trash { auto = subscribe special_use = \Trash } mailbox Junk { special_use = \Junk } mailbox Sent { special_use = \Sent } mailbox "Sent Messages" { special_use = \Sent } mailbox Trash { special_use = \Trash } prefix = } passdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf.ext driver = sql } plugin { sieve = ~/.dovecot.sieve sieve_after = /etc/dovecot/sieve-after sieve_dir = ~/sieve } protocols = " imap lmtp sieve pop3" service auth { unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/auth { group = postfix mode = 0660 user = postfix } } service lmtp { unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/dovecot-lmtp { group = postfix mode = 0600 user = postfix } } ssl_cert = </etc/letsencrypt/live/server.sio4.org/fullchain.pem ssl_key = </etc/letsencrypt/live/server.sio4.org/privkey.pem userdb { args = uid=vmail gid=vmail home=/var/vmail/%d/%n driver = static } protocol lmtp { mail_plugins = " sieve" }

Could you suggest me where I should look into?

Many many thanks!
