Yes, there is no big difference.

Yes.

I don't have a "sieve_allowplaintext", I have tried it with "yes", but
it did not help.
allowplaintext: yes
I have the same problems with "tls_sieve_cert_file: disabled" or not, so
I think the problem is not tls-related.

saslauthd -> pam -> unix
In the pam modules for both imap and sieve I have:
@include common-auth
@include common-account
Thanks for your help.
