Anyone got a simple configuration file ( dovecot.conf ) that has simple auth login? like clear text?

Here it is.

thanks

Try changing the "disable_plaintext_auth" from yes to no: # Disable LOGIN command and all other plaintext authentications unless # SSL/TLS is used (LOGINDISABLED capability). Note that if the remote IP # matches the local IP (ie. you're connecting from the same computer), the # connection is considered secure and plaintext authentication is allowed. #disable_plaintext_auth = yes disable_plaintext_auth = no HTH, DR
