How does it "not work"? What happens when you connect to port 143? Do you get the normal IMAP greeting message? If so, what happens when a TLS-enabled client does a STARTTLS command? > I have activated "Use secure authentication" in Mozilla 1.5, but it says > "Login to server blah failed" and I get "AUTHENTICATE PLAIN failure" in > /var/log/mail. This is authentication, which is a separate issue. I don't use Mozilla, and I don't know what "Use secure authentication" does in Mozilla. If Mozilla (or whatever other IMAP client) tries to do AUTHENTICATE PLAIN in a port 143 session without first negotiating STARTTLS, it is expected that the authentication will fail. -- Mark -- http://staff.washington.edu/mrc Science does not emerge from voting, party politics, or public debate.
