imap not working

[rhuijdts]

Hi,
Today i did setup a fc3 system and in general it works great.
one problem i have is with the imap.

I can't connect with an imap client (thunderbird)
it doesn't accept the credentials.

If i telnet, i can see the imap server is alive, in the user settings, imap feature is enabled.

Do you have any clue?

Thunderbird doesn't add a defualt domain. So for your username use the full e-mail address. ie kevinh@yourdomain.com

If Thunderbird is trying to log in without using TLS, the default configuration won't allow it for security reasons. Try configuring Thunderbird to either:

(a) send a STARTTLS command [not sure how to do this], or
(b) use sIMAP on port 993 [Account Settings > Server Settings > Use Secure Connection].

Or you can even (c) use the admin console to enable cleartext IMAP logins.

I enabled cleartext logins but didn't restart the server...
After restart it works ok
