Hi all,

Recenty upgraded server to Debian 3.1 (sarge) and ISP 2.2.7. I used the perfect setup walkthough but I opted out from installing the Courier-POP3/Courier-IMAP pgks.

The prob I am having is that I can't login to the uw-imapd2002edebian server mail using squirrelmail or roundcube. The error I am getting is...

Code:

The IMAP server is reporting that plain text logins are disabled.

I reviewed my setup and even tried to reinstall using the roundcube/sendmail walkthoughs but then I got an Internal Server Error when pointing to webmail.mydomain.com.

My mail.log says

Code:

Oct 26 08:48:14 xxx imapd[2592]: imap service init from 192.168.1.100
Oct 26 08:48:17 xxx imapd[2592]: Command stream end of file, while reading line user=xxx host=mydomain.com [192.168.1.100]

When I telnet to port 25 I get the right response too

Code:

ehlo show
250-mydomain.com
250-PIPELINING
250-SIZE 10240000
250-VRFY
250-ETRN
250-STARTTLS
250-AUTH LOGIN PLAIN
250-AUTH=LOGIN PLAIN
250 8BITMIME

I don't know where to look next? Pls help.

OK.. when I try and TELNET to localhost imap I get this.

Notice it says LOGINDISABLED?

Code:

* OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4REV1 LOGIN-REFERRALS STARTTLS LOGINDISABLED] localhost.localdomain IMAP4rev1 2003.339 at Thu, 26 Oct 2006 11:41:54 -0400 (EDT)

Ok.. Im done...I give up. I have to get this email working..

If I don't get some kind of help, I guess I will revert to removinging the mail packages and reinstalling them manually without SSL.

Do you have this file? /etc/c-client.cf

and does it contain:

I accept the risk
set disable-plaintext nil

Thanks for replying jnsc

Ok.. I have reinstall all the packages all over again (postfix imap-ssl etc)
I have rechecked all the perfect setup options.

And I noticed that SquirrelMail config has a imap Auth optins and changed it to PLAIN which was confusing to me cause I thought plain was plain text ???

SquirrelMail Config for IMAP Settings

Code:

IMAP Settings
--------------
4.  IMAP Server            : localhost
5.  IMAP Port              : 143
6.  Authentication type    : plain
7.  Secure IMAP (TLS)      : 0
8.  Server software        : uw
9.  Delimiter              : /

B.  Update SMTP Settings   : localhost:25
H.  Hide IMAP Server Settings

R   Return to Main Menu
C   Turn color off
S   Save data
Q   Quit

Command >> 6

If you have already set the hostname and port number, I can try to
detect the mechanisms your IMAP server supports.
I will try to detect CRAM-MD5 and DIGEST-MD5 support.  I can't test
for "login" or "plain" without knowing a username and password.
Auto-detecting is optional - you can safely say "n" here.

Try to detect supported mechanisms? [y/N]:

What authentication mechanism do you want to use for IMAP connections?

login - Plaintext. If you can do better, you probably should.
plain - SASL PLAIN. If you need this, you already know it.
cram-md5 - Slightly better than plaintext methods.
digest-md5 - Privacy protection - better than cram-md5.

*** YOUR IMAP SERVER MUST SUPPORT THE MECHANISM YOU CHOOSE HERE ***
If you don't understand or are unsure, you probably want "login"

login, plain, cram-md5, or digest-md5 [plain]: plain

Now I can try and login but Squirrelmail keeps saying I have wrong username or password. Yet, I have set up the username.

I am checking /etc/postfix/aliases now.
