I recently tried to look at the Dovecot mailing lists through an
already-configured IMAP profile, which had worked fine in the past.
But it failed saying that the authentication method was not supported.
http://www.dovecot.org/mailinglists.html says:
"You can get access to the IMAP archives by using *dovecot.org* as the
hostname, *anonymous* as the username and an empty password. It's also
possible to use ANONYMOUS authentication mechanism if your client
supports it (few do)."
I noticed that my e-mail client was configured to use the server
"imap.dovecot.org", so I changed it to "dovecot.org".
But it still complains that the authentication method is not supported.
I am using Thunderbird 3.1 over Windows 7 64-bit.
Thunderbird was configured for "Password, Transmitted insecurely" (and
this option was not working).
I have tried the other authentication options available in Thunderbird.
"Encrypted password": Does not work; same problem
"Kerberos / GSSAPI": Does not work; same problem
"NTLM": Does not work; same problem
Any ideas?
Bill
