[Dovecot] dovecot: pop3-login: Disconnected (tried to use disabled plaintext auth): method=PLAIN

[John Espiro]

I set the auth to SSL and STARTTLS.  I also set disable_plaintext_auth
to both yes and no, and the result is the same... it uses pop3/plain.
I viewed the running process to see which of the 4 conf files it was
using, so I know i have the right file.

Thoughts?
