Topic: Outlook does not connect without SSL

Hello, I'm doing some testing with this version: even putting in the dovecot conf "disable_plaintext_auth = no ssl = yes and" outlook (2010) does not connect without SSL.

I looked at the logs, in this version imap responds:
CAPABILITY
IMAP4rev1
Literal +
SASL-IR
LOGIN-REFERRALS
ID
ENABLE
SORT
SORT = DISPLAY
THREAD = REFERENCES
THREAD = refs
MULTIAPPEND
Unselect
IDLE
CHILDREN
NAMESPACE
UIDPLUS
LIST-EXTENDED
I18NLEVEL = 1
CONDSTORE
QRESYNC
esearch
Apost
SEARCHRES
WITHIN
CONTEXT = SEARCH
LIST-STATUS
SHARE
STARTTLS
LOGINDISABLED

missing:
AUTH = PLAIN
AUTH = LOGIN

Does anyone know how to fix?

- These two settings exists in dovecot.conf by default, so please update them instead of adding new settings.
- Did you restart Dovecot service after modified dovecot.conf?

Re: Outlook does not connect without SSL

Sure, Restarted.

from dovecot.conf

# With disable_plaintext_auth=yes, STARTTLS is mandatory.
# Set disable_plaintext_auth=no AND ssl=yes to allow plain password transmitted
# insecurely.


# 20121005--> disable_plaintext_auth = yes
disable_plaintext_auth=no
ssl=yes

#20121005<-- end mod

Re: Outlook does not connect without SSL

I see "ssl: required" in the output.

Re: Outlook does not connect without SSL

So what changes do you have to configure Dovecot?
One suggested does not work.

Re: Outlook does not connect without SSL

As mentioned in previous email, just below two:

disable_plaintext_auth=no
ssl=yes

Re: Outlook does not connect without SSL

Solved

ssl = required in another line....

Re: Outlook does not connect without SSL

Then show me output of 'dovecot -n' again, please make sure you don't have "ssl: required" in output.
Also, make sure you don't have duplicate "ssl=" in dovecot.conf.
