This must really be a neewbie problem .-( I'm trying to connect to my IMAP server using Thunderbird. I'm not interested in SSL, so in Thunderbird I selected the radio button "TLS, if possible". However, Thunderbird refuses to talk to the IMAP server, and disconnects immediately after receiving the initial greeting from the IMAP server. Then I tried running IMAP over SSL and selected the radio button "SSL" in Thunderbird. Now it asks for my username and password, and then fails! In the file /var/log/maillog I see the lines: Feb 2 20:44:40 mij-6 imaps[5690]: badlogin: [10.0.0.105] plain [SASL(-1): generic failure: Password verification failed] Feb 2 20:44:43 mij-6 imaps[5690]: badlogin: [10.0.0.105] plaintext mij SASL(-1): generic failure: checkpass failed The file /etc/imapd.conf contains the following lines: configdirectory: /var/lib/imap partition-default: /var/spool/imap admins: cyrus sievedir: /var/lib/imap/sieve sendmail: /usr/sbin/sendmail hashimapspool: true sasl_pwcheck_method: saslauthd sasl_mech_list: PLAIN tls_cert_file: /etc/pki/cyrus-imapd/cyrus-imapd.pem tls_key_file: /etc/pki/cyrus-imapd/cyrus-imapd.pem tls_ca_file: /etc/pki/tls/certs/ca-bundle.crt I'm running the latest Fedora Core, the version of the IMAP server is cyrus-imapd-2.3.9-7.fc8. Any help is greatly appreciated. ---- Cyrus Home Page: http://cyrusimap.web.cmu.edu/ Cyrus Wiki/FAQ: http://cyrusimap.web.cmu.edu/twiki List Archives/Info: http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus/mailing-list.html
