thanks for the reply (how i learn)
question :
it doesn't work for writing emails ???
what are you trying to do (ie pls better explain writing emails?)
ie are you using AD for the address book etc ???
are you trying to use the MAPI interface(s) in windows ?
also what client are you using (outlook, thunderbird etc)
it also needs to be noted that if you are running ssl via an outlook
client it only supports the master ssl certificate of the main server.
for example : mail.scom.ca is the master cert for scom.ca
but being an isp i have multiple certs running (using SNR) for other
domains in which outlook refuses to pickup on.
If this is not an issue keep it in mind for the future.
When i send my customer the setup info for ssl connects they have to use
the master cert (mail.scom.ca) in stead of the mail.xxx.com domain name.
This to can cause auth errors (found that out the hard way)
not trying to get off track just something to look at.
email on windows is really an exchange thing which carries its own issue(s)

Hello Paul,
Thank you very much for your detailed information and advice.
I'm currently using Dovecot 2.4.1. On Windows, it's not possible to grant a
user access to all the necessary information, so I rely on user logins to
validate passwords.
This method works correctly for IMAP authentication, but, for some unknown
reason, it doesn't work for writing emails: Dovecot can't find the user or the
static user database it should use in this case.
I'm continuing to investigate to understand this difference in behavior.
I also wish you a very happy 2026, full of success!
Sincerely,
