I heartily agree.  If the login procedure fails, there is also a bigger
chance of more problems of the same kind.  The failing login procedure
warns the user of a dataloss probability in his mailclient.

Dataloss is much worse than a not working mailclient.

It's probably not going to get fixed if they don't have access to a
dovecot server (installed in a minute with debian).  Or with the
right business priority (unlikely without public pressure).

I can always ask.  And I'm going to do that in the morning.


Good night,

Gerhard.
