fixed now as my failure to set first_valid_uid to lower value . Some users have uids of lower than 500

There was not any auth failure or err messages in secure log related to imaps being logged. But the dovecot.log does have more detailed info:

" Jan 14 09:18:42 Info: imap-login: Internal login failure: user=<user1>, method=PLAIN, rip=X.X.X.X, lip=X.X.X.X, TLS Jan 14 09:19:03 Info: auth(default): client in: AUTH 1 PLAIN service=IMAP secured lip=X.X.X.X rip=X.X.X.Xresp=AGJicm9vbQBlZTBuQHJkMA== Jan 14 09:19:05 Info: auth(default): pam(user1,X.X.X.X): pam_authenticate() failed: Authentication failure "

I am trying to migrate from UW imap to dovecot.

OS: RHEL 3 X86 MTA: Postfix Auth: PAM (NIS server)

Most of the users are fine, but I have some users have problems:

" Jan 14 09:18:42 Info: imap-login: Internal login failure: user=<user1>, method=PLAIN, rip=X.X.X.X, lip=X.X.X.X, TLS "

what does the secure.log say when this happens? Is there a pam auth failure just before this?
