I finally got Dovecot working pretty good I just have one small problem. I can't seem to log in via IMAP, now everything works great through POP but when I try to login via IMAP I get the following error:

"PLAIN authentication failed. None of the authentication methods supported by your IMAP server are supported this computer"

Anyone seen this before?

From the config file:

# Disable LOGIN command and all other plaintext authentications unless # SSL/TLS is used (LOGINDISABLED capability). Note that 127.*.*.* and # IPv6 ::1 addresses are considered secure, this setting has no effect if # you connect from those addresses. disable_plaintext_auth = yes

When I do this both IMAP AND POP stop working. When I have it set to disable_plaintext_auth = no I can get POP working but IMAP throws back errors.

Any other thoughts?
