Your client might be trying to authenticate with plain text, and your server might not accept it. Check out your config file (bincimap.conf) and look for "allow plain auth in non ssl". You may want to set this to "yes", or use SSL in your client. Let us know how things go. :-) Andy -- Andreas Aardal Hanssen | http://www.andreas.hanssen.name/gpg Author of Binc IMAP | Nil desperandum
