Sounds to me like you've got the same problem that I had two weeks ago - only my problem was with POP3 access. It seems that they have disabled plain-text login in the newer versions of uw-imapd (and ipopd). You can do some reading: they've explained some of this in /usr/share/doc/libc-client(...)/README.Debian. The part between brackets is, for me, something like 2002edebian - verify this for your setup. The README file might be compressed. Anyway, the suggestion is to put the line 'set disable-plaintext nil' in /etc/c-client.cf. That didn't completely work for me, I have the following two lines: I accept the risk set disable-plaintext nil Since I only POP3 behind a router/firewall, I think the risk for me is acceptable. Also, I needed to do: dpkg-reconfigure libc-client2002edebian (again, verify this last part for your setup.
