dovecot - Aug 2013 - Disconnected (no auth attempts)

Hello list,

I have a user who is not able to 'get' email using the 'Get
Mail' option
in his Thunderbird Client.

The error on the server is the following:

[Dovecot] dovecot: imap-login: Disconnected (no auth attempts) : rip
192.168.7.7, lip 192.168.7.12, TLS

This user is able to receive mail on his phone, however.

What does this error mean?

The message means the client (thunderbird) disconnected without
attempting to authenticate.

The likely cause is incorrect settings in thunderbird, possibly the
server->authentication method setting.
