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 "x...@yyy.com"
Nov 25 08:47:46 imap-login: Info: Aborted login (auth failed, 1 attempts in 2 secs):
user=<x...@yyy.com>, 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=<"x...@yyy.com">, 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
1. Please carefully read http://dovecot.org/mailinglists.html
2. Please carefully follow the instructions at
http://dovecot.org/mailinglists.html. In your case, post full details
for both servers.
3. Try to manually log in to both servers using e.g. telnet in order to
see any differences in the way they respond.
Something like
$ telnet 192.168.9.11 143
Trying 192.168.9.11...
Connected to 192.168.9.11.
Escape character is '^]'.

1 login gedalya 1234
* BAD [ALERT] Plaintext authentication not allowed without SSL/TLS, but
your client did it anyway. If anyone was listening, the password was
exposed.
1 NO [PRIVACYREQUIRED] Plaintext authentication disallowed on non-secure
(SSL/TLS) connections.
2 logout
* BYE Logging out
2 OK Logout completed.
Connection closed by foreign host.
(that's how it responds in my specific case as I disallow plaintext login)
Or if you need TLS (like me):
$ openssl s_client -starttls imap -quiet -connect 192.168.9.11:143
depth=2 C = IL, O = StartCom Ltd., OU = Secure Digital Certificate

verify error:num=19:self signed certificate in certificate chain
verify return:0
. OK Pre-login capabilities listed, post-login capabilities have more.
1 login gedalya 1234
1 NO [AUTHENTICATIONFAILED] Authentication failed.
2 logout
* BYE Logging out
2 OK Logout completed.
