Thanks for the response. I mean plain in the sense of password storage,
not authentication mechanism -- I didn't know which mechanism I was
using.

I set AuthMech to LOGIN, and mbsync connected, but then got a
UIDVALIDITY error for each mailbox. I moved the ~/.mbsync directory to a
different location and tried again, and it looks like it's going to
resync each mailbox:

slave: 71 messages, 0 recent
master: 71 messages, 0 recent
Synchronizing...
M: +0/71 *0/0 #0/0  S: +0/71 *0/0 #0/0

So I stopped it for the time being, until I'm sure I've got everything
else configured correctly.

All right, so I probably want to be using PLAIN, not LOGIN, but I've got
the PLAIN setup wrong somehow, almost certainly in my dovecot
configuration. I'll play around with that for a bit, and ask on the
dovecot list if I can't get it working.

Thanks,
Eric
