[Dovecot] Proxy config help please

Hello, I am new to dovecot and I am initially trying to setup a basic
imap proxy with password forwarding, I can start the dovecot service,
connect and give it my password, and that is where I hang.  My config
is:

root at imap-test:/etc/dovecot# doveconf -n
# 2.0.19: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf
# OS: Linux 3.2.0-24-generic x86_64 Ubuntu 12.04 LTS
auth_debug = yes
auth_verbose = yes
debug_log_path = syslog
first_valid_uid = 100
imap_capability = CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 ACL BINARY CATENATE CHILDREN
CONDSTORE ENABLE ESEARCH ESORT I18NLEVEL=1 ID IDLE LIST-EXTENDED
LIST-STATUS LITERAL+ LOGIN-REFERRALS MULTIAPPEND NAMESPACE QRESYNC
QUOTA RIGHTS=ektx SASL-IR SEARCHRES SORT THREAD=ORDEREDSUBJECT UIDPLUS
UNSELECT WITHIN XLIST
last_valid_uid = 200
mail_debug = yes
mail_gid = 107
mail_uid = 107
passdb {
  args = proxy=proxy_always nopassword=y host=172.16.0.13 port=143
proxy_timeout=5 starttls=y ssl=any-cert
  driver = static
}
protocols = imap
service imap-login {
  inet_listener imap {
    address = *
    port = 143
  }
}
ssl = required
ssl_cert = </etc/courier/imapd.pem
ssl_key = </etc/courier/imapd.pem
verbose_ssl = yes

The system at 172.16.0.13 is a zimbra proxy.  I can see in the logs
that it initially complains about my ssl cert, and if I remove
ssl=any-cert it fails because my cert is self signed, so I know it is
talking to the proxy and doing starttls which is a requirement of
zimbra.  Unfortunately I have not found a way to see the full exchange
between dovecot and my zimbra proxy other than tcp dump, which just
shows a small packet exchange.  Please let me know if I can provide
any other information and thanks in advance for any help.

-Zac

And unfortunately you failed to provide critical evidence - in this case 
the actual logs (and the tcpdump since you already have it) of a failed 
session, rather than your interpretation of it. But at least you 
provided your config (Timo is so good that often that is enough by 
itself, but even his crystal ball sometimes has problems).

I have found over the years that if you are having a problem to the 
point that you need to ask for help, it is time to step back and take a 
fresh look at *everything* - including having other eyes looking at 
*all* of the evidence.

Very sorry for the omission, please find the dovecot logs and tcpdump
session attached.  Please let me know if I can provide any other
information and thank you again for your time.

[Dovecot] Proxy config help please

v2.0 has some problems with this. You should use v2.1 and use server name as the
"host" value instead of IP. But anyway, the main problem is that you
haven't specified ssl_ca setting that contains the accepted CA certificate.
