Hi Mauricio Thanks for the response. I'm still struggling to make this work. I have removed the users I created through horde and changed to imap authentication. This server is running horde, virtualmin and will also be an imap mailserver.
I can send emails out using telnet localhost smtp But cannot get authentication for IMP on the test.php dovecot: imap-login: Disconnected (auth failed, 2 attempts): user=< [email protected]>, method=PLAIN, rip=127.0.0.1, lip=127.0.0.1, TLS I logged out of horde and now I can't login again because I have deleted the entries from horde_users in the horde db The username I am trying to login with is correct in another sql database 'mail' which dovecot-mysql.conf points to. I could just fiddle with conf.php to get back in, but I'm trying to make it work the way you advised. Regards Peter Lawrie On 24 February 2013 15:18, Mauricio Jose T.
