dovecot - Jul 2009 - Cannot get plaintext auth working on IMAP or POP

Server: Ubuntu 9.04 desktop edition
Dovecot 1.1.11

Issue: I have set dovecot.conf with:
disable_plaintext_auth = no

but everytime I have a client (Windows Live Mail, ubuntu evolution) connect
from the Internet, I have the following type of message: Plaintext
authentication disallowed on non-secure (SSL/TLS) connections.

in my mail.log, I have:
Jul 28 15:09:43 "name" dovecot: imap-login: Disconnected (tried to use
disabled plaintext auth): rip=x.x.x.x, lip=x.x.x.x

Unfortunately I need plaintext auth IMAP.

If I VPN in and use IMAPS, it works a treat - but I can't always do this,
hence needing plain old IMAP.

Any ideas anyone?  What am I missing?

Cheers, Richard

In which file? /etc/dovecot.conf or /etc/dovecot-postfix.conf

Looks like as would Dovecot not read your settings.

The trapper recommends today: face1e55.0920918 at localdomain.org

Thanks,

It was using /etc/dovecot.conf

I managed to get it working, by editing the protocol imap { sections

Now just need to get authentication working for postfix in plaintext.

Cheers,

Richard
