Probably a Dovecot issue. The answer is in your logs.

paul
thanks for your reply
i intentionaly put the wrong password and checked the dovecot log and the message i got was
# tail -f /var/log/dovecot.log | grep "xxx@xxxxxxx"
Nov 25 08:47:46 imap-login: Info: Aborted login (auth failed, 1 attempts in 2 secs): user=<xxx@xxxxxxx>, method=PLAIN, rip=127.0.0.1, lip=127.0.0.1,
secured, session=<xObTWqYIwgB/AAAB>
but in the squirrelmail login page instead of the message "unknown user or password incorrect" i get the message
ERROR: Connection dropped by IMAP server.
Query: LOGOUT
in my old server where it is working correctly dovecot logs shows the error
Nov 25 14:46:12 imap-login: Info: Aborted login (auth failed, 1 attempts): user=<"xxx@xxxxxxx">, method=PLAIN, rip=127.0.0.1, lip=127.0.0.1, secured
and squirrelmail gives the error : "unknown user or password incorrect" which is correct.
is there any other place i need to check or some other config file (either squirrelmail or dovecot) that i need to modify
could you kindly guide me
