I should have said that I use SSL authentication on dovecot.
I didn't think this mattered, as No Authentication is one option
in kmail.
But my /etc/dovecot.conf (minus comments) reads:
---------------------------
protocols = imap imaps
info_log_path = /var/log/dovecot
ssl_listen = *:993
ssl_disable = no
ssl_cert_file = /etc/pki/dovecot/certs/dovecot.pem
ssl_key_file = /etc/pki/dovecot/private/dovecot.pem
mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir
mailbox_idle_check_interval = 30
maildir_copy_with_hardlinks = yes
protocol imap {
listen = *:143
ssl_listen = *:993
}
protocol pop3 {
}
protocol lda {
postmaster_address = [EMAIL PROTECTED]
}
auth default {
mechanisms = plain
passdb pam {
}
userdb passwd {
}
user = root
}
dict {
}
plugin {
}
---------------------------
I'm actually using IMAP rather than IMAPS,
but will ssl authentication.
