Sorry in advance because maybe the problem is stupid, but after two days trying different configurations from Google it still not working. Im Newbie in Postfix/Dovecot After upgrading Debian, I configured (for first time) Postfix with Dovecot and Sasl (plain text). **Pop3 works fine now but Imap not (login fails)**. Port 143 is open and cannot change the server configuration because there are already mail users working. main.cf # See /usr/share/postfix/main.cf.dist for a commented, more complete version # Debian specific: Specifying a file name will cause the first # line of that file to be used as the name.

This weekend is being horrible for me
Ok, solved. The problem was Pop3 was still working with old program Courier (even the logs shows was over Dovecot...) and Imap over Dovecot. Dovecot was difficult to config because the mail bd was made by hand, so I finally installed courier-imap (thats remove Dovecot-imap) and the server was recovered.
