output of dovecot -n , below...

mbox_write_locks = fcntl
passdb {
  args = scheme=cram-md5 username_format=%u /etc/dovecot/users
  driver = passwd-file
}
service pop3-login {

    port = 110
  }

  }
}
ssl_cert = </etc/postfix/newcert.pem
ssl_key = </etc/postfix/newkey.pem
userdb {
  args = username_format=%u /etc/dovecot/users
  driver = passwd-file
}


the client uses CRAM-MD5 using thunderbird....

Please help, on the next steps...
