[Dovecot] Dovecot SASL vs. Micro$oft Outlook and Outlook Express

[Tom Kovář]

Yep, that was in the end the problem - Outlook and Express do support
PLAIN only for IMAP, not for SMTP. Including the LOGIN mechanism was the
solution, sorry for not reporting before.

Best regards,

I don't know about a patch per se but I am using rc15 and postfix 2.3.5
w/ 
dovecot sasl enabled in postfix. I had to add "login" mechanism to 
dovecot.conf in order for outlook variants to work.

auth default {

  mechanisms = plain login
