Probably one of the most commonly asked question is "Why does Dovecot just say authentication failed"? It would be nice to be able to get rid of these questions by having Dovecot itself point out the http://wiki.dovecot.org/WhyDoesItNotWork link. But how to do this? There are two groups of people here: 1) People who look at logs after seeing the "Authentication failed" from a client/telnet session. 2) People who don't even think about looking at logs. I'm thinking that the group 1 could be handled by having Doveco...

...folks, I'm using the latest Dovecot 1.16 with Postfix for my FreeBSD box. Since v1.1.4 (if i remember correctly), the following message is displayed whenever starting Dovecot.

See http://wiki.dovecot.org/WhyDoesItNotWork" Besides that, Dovecot works great but I wonder what this message is all about. I've searched wiki and mailing list but didn't find anything related. PS: I removed Dovecot removing all stalled files and directories and reinstalled it from scratch. Still the message is displayed when...

Hello, Perms are 775 on that folder. If you've got a working configuration can you do a doveconf -n and let me see it? I'd like to compare yours to mine. And if you've got a working welcome script i'd like to see that as well. Thanks. Dave.
