Hi folks,
Can someone point me to a document on how to setup
iPhones for QMail Toaster please? I ma getting an increasing
number of clients telling me they cannot send or receive emails.
Nothing on the server has changed for quite some time yet the
clients tell me they get this kind of error...
Invalid username and or password for
[email protected]@mail.server.com.au
We know the username is correct but the iPhone seems to prefix
the username to the mail server address. Yet if we remove the
server address from the username then we get the same error
as it then is [email protected]
Hope this is a simple cure as it it very annoying.
Dovecot I presume?
You should use TLS always, as the dovecot configuration enforces a
secure connection. When you use TLS, you can then use plain or login
authentication types, as the session is already secure. IIRC this can't
be set in the 'wizardly' configuration, but needs to be done manually
after the account is created. It's been a while since I did an iPhone,
but I do remember it being a PITA. You'd think iPhones would be a bit
easier than they are in this regard, as most things are pretty trivial.
