hi i have a strange problem with my dovecot installtion: i configured it to accept digest-md5 authentication only but for some reason mailclients (i tried mutt and thunderbird so far) want to log with PLAIN (which fails of course). authentication basically works, e.g. if i explicitly set set imap_authenticators="digest-md5 in .muttrc everything works... any idea what is going wrong?
config attached below
