It is safe to assume that there are no clairvoyant's on this list, so
you probably need to provide a bit more specific information about
your difficulties to get useful suggestions. Unstated details that
are relevant to narrowing down the problem include:
1. What OS are you running?
2. How exactly does KMail fail to work, i.e. is it just doing nothing
or is it providing some sort of expression of Not Working?
3. What did dovecot write to its logs when KMail failed to work?

For some time now I have been trying to get IMAP resources working on KMail.
I have followed the docs from kde, but they tell how to configure cyrus IMAP,
so I've had to learn as I went along.
After a lot of help from the postfix list I now have a working sasl. The
ability of the user 'groupware' to log in with PLAIN has been checked in a
telnet session. Everything in KMail has been set up as in the documentation,
but it doesn't work. Now I'm wondering if anything in my dovecot
configuration needs changing.

I'd be thankful for any help. Thanks
