Hi all. I hope this is not a RTFM-type question, but I've been unable to find a searchable archive of this mailing list....... I recently began investigating using Dovecot/Postfix/MySQL solution. I've been following the documentation http://wiki.dovecot.org/HowTo/DovecotLDAPostfixAdminMySQL?highlight=%28m ysql%29 While everything seems to have gone right, I have been unable to successfully login to the IMAP server using Outlook Express. It seems that the problem may relate to PostfixAdmin storing passwords in the mysql database md5 encrypted, and Dovecot is not able to read them, but I am not certain. The error when a client logs in is something like dovecot: auth-worker(default): plain_md5_verify(testuser1 at mydomain.com): Invalid password encoding David Morrow Technical Systems Lead Autodata Solutions Company David.Morrow at Autodata.net <mailto:David.Morrow at Autodata.net> http://www.autodatasolutions.com <http://www.autodatasolutions.com/> Tel: (519) 963-3020 Fax: (519) 451-6615 Think slowly.
