Login roundcube fail. AUTHENTICATE PLAIN: Authentication failed

I use roundcube webmail. I cann't login.

This's log error
Login failed for user@domail.com from x.x.x.x. AUTHENTICATE PLAIN: Authentication failed. in /var/www/html/roundcubemail/program/lib/Roundcube/rcube_imap.php on line 184 (POST /roundcubemail/?_task=login?_task=login&_action=login)

With what little output you have given, it just looks like you have typed your username and password in wrong. Do you have any additional thoughts or information about the issue?

I would also say that many IMAP servers block plain authentication by default. I would check the IMAP server if you really want to allow the plain method.

Hello! I'm setting up SSL encrypted connection in Postfix, Dovecot. I use vps amazon ec2.
So telnet localhost 465
Escape character is '^]'.
Connection closed by foreign host.

Have a something wrong ? telnet localhost 465
connection closed by foreign host

Thank you very much. I am a newbie. Not good english. Please explain clearly.

Port 465 is using SSL, so a normal telnet would not be the best test. Try openssl:

Quote:

openssl s_client -connect localhost:465

See if that returns better results.

Thank you. So, how to know my client receive mail by pop3s, imaps?

I would say the best method is to setup the client for pop3s or imaps. Then send yourself a test message. You can tail/watch your logs to see as well.
