<p>The passwords are stored in plaintext in the database?</p>
<p>Already checked</p>

<p>Once a dumped to a postfix admin database crypt passwords
straight from /etc/shadow without a single issue, that's why I'm
asking if the passwords are in plaintext or not.<br>

<p>Dear All</p>
<div>I have
Postfix version 3.3.0, Dovecot Version 2.2.33.2 and
PostfixAdmin
version 3.3.10 using MySQL on a small device running Ubuntu
VERSION="18.04.6 LTS (Bionic Beaver)" for my internal LAN
Mail.<br>
</div>
<p>I have a user <a target="_blank"
href="mailto:admin@fsoft.nnet" moz-do-not-send="true"
class="moz-txt-link-freetext">admin@fsoft.nnet</a> with a
mailbox setup in
PostfixAdmin with a password as 'Test75?'<br>
</p>
<p>Everything is running fine, but I cannot get my Email Client
Thunderbird to connect.<br>
</p>
<p>I have setup the debugging to see that the correct password
is being used, which it is, but I have this error:<br>

<p>showing that dovecot disagrees!!!<br>
</p>
<p>Why is this? Is it something to do with the permissions in
PostfixAdmin?<br>
</p>
<p>I did find <a
href="https://serverfault.com/questions/696715/password-mismatch-in-dovecot-with-postafixadmin"
target="_blank" moz-do-not-send="true">a post on Server
Fault</a> where someone had the same problem. He just tried
various passwords until he found one that
worked!!!! I have not found any other post about this exact
problem.<br>
</p>
<p>Any help much appreciated.<br>
