I have also set

unix_listener auth-client {
    mode = 0660
    user = mail
  }

in /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-master.conf

I don't understand why dovecot_login authenticator fails though I have given 
the right username and password to my mail client.
Please help me debug the issue. can i make the error: Incorrect authentication 
data, more verbose?
