Hi,

I have a new installation of courier-mta and I can no longer get any
client  software to connect to imap. It worked in previous testing, but
I seem to  have broken something.

The typical log entry for a failed connection is:
Feb 25 18:46:32 vps2 imapd: LOGIN FAILED, user=sarahf,
ip=[70.199.216.131] This is with TLS turned off.

Invalid password.

Thank you Sam, for a quick response.

I've packet captured this, and I see the correct password. :



A00001 CAPABILITY



A00001 OK CAPABILITY completed

A00002 LOGIN jeffglass jeff123

A00002 NO Login failed.

I can log into jeffglass with password jeff123 using shell on the machine.

Nope. You should look at courier-authlib's configuration. It can be configured to check passwords from either the system's password file, an LDAP server, a MySQL database, a PostgreSQL database, and a couple of other sources. I don't remember you mentioning which authentication method you are using.
