Hi, I installed openSUSE 11.3 server version, and followed the guidelines from: http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect-server-opensuse-11.3-x86_64-ispconfig-3 Everything works, accept loggin into dovecot. For many days i tried to get logged into dovecot, from localhost, from other pc in the lan, from squirrelmail, not possible. I read manuals on http://wiki.dovecot.org/ and tried to set the passwd db like: auth default { .. passdb passwd-file { args = /etc/passwd.dovecot } .. The "args" were not accepted according to the output from dovecot -n As now i installed dovecot 20, with a fresh dovecot.conf. Ofcourse this was not working, so i 'updated' ISPConfig. Now my dovecot.conf is a mess, and i get errormessages like: Dec 20 21:00:02 AsusTT-sfn6 postfix/smtpd[7073]: fatal: no SASL authentication mechanisms And from dovecot: dovecot.pem missing from /etc/ssl/certs, so no ssl login possible also Now i am checking dovecot -n line by line and this message pops out: mail_plugin_dir: access(/usr/lib/dovecot/modules/imap) failed: No such file or directory passdb { driver = pam } passdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf driver = sql } furtheron: ssl = no userdb { driver = passwd } userdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf driver = sql } it has 64 lines. first and last_valid_uid and gid are set to 5000. In this conf i did not change anything. I would realy appreciate some help, as my only goal was to set up an imap server so i can access my mail from all over the world, and have all mail in 'one' central place, instead of scattered all over many pc's and laptops. The irony is that evrything but this works ;-p tia, for an answer.

Also, it sounds like you didn't even attempt plain text login at all. You should probably make sure that works before attempting encrypted login via SSL etc. To try plain text login, reload your backup (original) dovecot.conf and make sure you have: protocols = imap disable_plaintext_auth = no -- Stan
