hi all,

i'm using

	dovecot --version
		1.0.alpha3
	dovecot --build-options
		Build options: ioloop=poll openssl postgresql
		Passdb: checkpassword pam passwd passwd-file sql
		Userdb: checkpassword passdb passwd passwd-file sql static

on OSX 10.4.2.

i've set up for

	maildir: format
	PLAIN text AUTH, w/ "disable_plaintext_auth = yes"
	TLS support
	Private/, Public/ Shared/ namespaces

login and access with my Mulberry MUA has been just fine.

however, attemtping to access with Thunderboird v107 has been completely
unsuccessful.

T-Bird's "Server Settings" for my user are config'd as:

	Server Type: IMAP MailServer
	Server name: mail.testdomain.com  Port: 993  Default: 993
	User name: testuser at testdomain.com
	[X] User secure connection (SSL)
	[ ] User secure authentication


on access, T-Bird's status bar shows "Openeing folder ...", but never
continues on any further.  i never see my mailboxes, Namespaces, etc, as
I do in Mulberry.

my dovecot log shows:

which looks ok to me (?).

fwiw, TBird can access TLS+Plain accounts on CGatePro & CyrusIMAP
accounts i've tried w/ no problem ...


any suggestions/thoughts?

cheers,

richard
