Thank you for the patch, my mail server is up and running again. Now I am back to my previous problem: I am not able to log in with Thunderbird. Thunderbird issues the capability command which is not answered by Dovecot. Here is a session transcript using openssl s_client. * OK Dovecot ready. 1 capability * OK Waiting for authentication process to respond.. 2 CAPABILITY * OK Waiting for authentication process to respond.. quit * OK Waiting for authentication process to respond.. QUIT DONE The first time I tried it worked fine. * OK Dovecot ready. 1 capability * CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 SORT THREAD=REFERENCES MULTIAPPEND UNSELECT LITERAL+ IDLE CHILDREN NAMESPACE LOGIN-REFERRALS AUTH=PLAIN 1 OK Capability completed. QUIT DONE But every other time I tried it failed like the first example. Any suggestions? --- Ryan Hinton iobass@email.com

How long have you tried to wait? If it's not ever replying, there's something wrong with dovecot-auth. This happens to me sometimes after Dovecot has just been started, but it starts responding within a couple of seconds. What passdb and userdb are you using? Maybe check with "strace -p" what the dovecot-auth is doing. Maybe it's trying to connect to some SQL or LDAP database and it's taking. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
