authentication issues with ipad / mac email client

30 Oct 2014


      hi
we are using using qmail toaster with dovecot pop3 and imap client
outlook and thunderbird works fine
in case of several  ipad / mac email clients
imap works fine but pop3 logins are not working with 110 port
my dovecot config file is given below
could somebody help please
Settings for 'stock' qmail-toaster
disable_plaintext_auth = no
default_login_user = vpopmail
mail_max_userip_connections = 50
service imap-login {
service_count = 0
client_limit = 256
process_min_avail = 4
vsz_limit = 384M
process_limit = 400
}
auth_cache_size = 32M
auth_cache_ttl = 1800
auth_cache_negative_ttl = 0
auth_mechanisms = plain login digest-md5 cram-md5
auth_username_format = %Lu
first_valid_uid = 89
first_valid_gid = 89
log_path = /var/log/dovecot.log
login_greeting = ready.
mail_plugins = $mail_plugins quota
plugin/quota = maildir
protocols = imap pop3
ssl_cert = </var/qmail/control/servercert.pem
ssl_key = </var/qmail/control/servercert.pem
the following will likely be the default at some point
ssl_dh_parameters_length = 2048
namespace {
inbox = yes
location =
prefix =
prefix = INBOX.
Use 'prefix = INBOX.' for Courier-IMAP compatible transparent migration.
This forces all client apps to create subfolders underneath/within
the inbox instead of adjacent to it. It's not necessary to be that way.
FWIW, shubes thinks this setting is annoying/rediculous/retarded.
As a practical example, having no prefix allows mobile users to select
which folders get synchronized. Otherwise their whole mailbox is
synchronized, and they have no way to choose which folders they want sync'd.
separator = .

}
passdb {

thank you very much,

Settings for 'stock' qmail-toaster

the following will likely be the default at some point

prefix = INBOX.

Use 'prefix = INBOX.' for Courier-IMAP compatible transparent migration.

This forces all client apps to create subfolders underneath/within

the inbox instead of adjacent to it. It's not necessary to be that way.

FWIW, shubes thinks this setting is annoying/rediculous/retarded.

As a practical example, having no prefix allows mobile users to select

which folders get synchronized. Otherwise their whole mailbox is

synchronized, and they have no way to choose which folders they want sync'd.

pop3_uidl_format = UID%u-%v
