    <blockquote type="cite"><span>We have FreeBSD-server with dovecot
        installed on it as IMAP-server. My user and password database is
        a text file with plaintext passwords. Clients connect to
        imap-server via TLS protocol and plaintext password. All works
        fine. But I want to configure ability to authorize with a client
        certificates. I have generated a client certificate and imported
        it to email-client. Also I have configured dovecot to verify
        client certificates. But email-client cannot authorize: Password
