Which version of Dovecot?

I believe there was a safety put in to stop plain text auth on 
unencrypted (non-SSL) connections.  But do you mean plain text passwords 
in the database, or plain text auth?

I'm currently runnig 0.99.14 for a small company, (almost) all the 
clients are Thunderbird, and it's having no problems.
