But spots? You mean passdb and userdb? You don't want to have more than
one auth block.

If you're running dovecot 1.0beta7, could you post the result of
"dovecot -n", otherwise the whole auth block you have in the config
file?

You have "mechanisms = plain" in there, right?

If you manually log in, what does the capability line say:

telnet imap.foo.org 143
x capability
