I am so confused. Can someone help me out here? I have set it up so that it is to accept login via PLAIN TEXT. I am using Thunderbird to connect, and it will ask for my password (the username is already in the system) I get a pop-up for Enter the password for Username on Domain.com I enter my password (the same I would use to login to FTP) and it fails. Any thoughts? -- Adam Barrett dragen at gmail.com

I believe there was a safety put in to stop plain text auth on unencrypted (non-SSL) connections. But do you mean plain text passwords in the database, or plain text auth? I'm currently runnig 0.99.14 for a small company, (almost) all the clients are Thunderbird, and it's having no problems. -- Curtis Maloney
