dovecot can't login to download email via thunderbird
hi all
i've set up postfix and dovecot on fc4
but i'm having issues downloading the email from the server using my email client (thunderbird)
i've got all the regular settings
mail.domain.com
port 110
the postfix and dovecot services are running
i can send email, from the server
when i enter my password to download email, it always says authentication failed
tcp and udp port 110 are set allowed through my firewall (iptables)
i created the user in webmin virtualmin, and the email is definitely in the users inbox, just can't download it
the password is definitely correct
default pam authentication is on
i don't have selinux on
i've got mysql, apache, ftp all working
any ideas
thanks
dave

how about your logs have you looked in your dovecot log files? you might have to turn on logging on the dovecot.conf as well. how about posting your dovecot.conf file up here, have you tried installing a webamil client even if it's just for testing purposed ( i see your using Fedora)
yum install squirrelmail - installing squirrelmail
rpm -qa | grep squirrelmail - uninstalling squirrelmail part 1
rpm -e (whatever came out of the above commnad) - uninstalling squirrelmail part 2

protocols = imap imaps pop3 pop3s
imap_listen = [::]
pop3_listen = [::]
imaps_listen = [::]
pop3s_listen = [::]
ssl_cert_file = /etc/pki/dovecot/dovecot.pem
ssl_key_file = /etc/pki/dovecot/private/dovecot.pem
mbox_locks = fcntl
auth = default
auth_mechanisms = plain
auth_userdb = passwd
auth_passdb = pam
everything else is commented out i think
ok, i've added a log file, but i'm not home atm, so i won't be able to try to login to see what it says
hmm... i'll give squirrelmail a try as well i guess
thanks
hopefully i'll have something else to add later

ok, i tried squirrelmail, as well as thunderbird, but still having issues
this is the dovecot log file
dovecot: Apr 14 23:34:35 Info: Dovecot starting up
pop3-login: Apr 14 23:34:52 Info: Disconnected [::ffff:###.##.###.###]
imap-login: Apr 14 23:35:09 Info: Aborted login [::ffff:127.0.0.1]
is there anything else i can try, i also tried changing the login executable, but that had no affect?
and i uncommented the line
user = dovecot
