[fetchmail-users] fetchmail can't talk to dovecot

[Marco F. <mfi...@mc...>]

Hello,

I have dovecot q1.0-0_22.rc7 up and running on a server: I can read
email from squirrelmail just fine. When I try to download email with
fetchmail, however, I get the result below. Why is that happening? In
dovecot.conf I have:

protocols = imap imaps pop3,

so why should pop3 or imap fail? Where should I look?

(I'll fix the certificates problem after I've managed to get in
successfully with plain imap or pop3)

(note: fetchmail is regularly working on other accounts)

Thanks,

	Marco

if I try with IMAP the part after the certificate verification error is:

fetchmail: Authorization failure on user_name at my.server
fetchmail: IMAP> A0006 LOGOUT
fetchmail: IMAP< A0005 BAD Error in IMAP command received by server.
fetchmail: IMAP< * BYE Logging out

and I don't see any error message related to this in the server log.

They may be linked.

On this server?  If so it points directly to a username/password
mismatch between the server and fetchmail.

The errors provided by fetchmail suggest you're either requiring
SSL/TLS for logins or you've got an error in the username or password
in the fetchmail config.

I'd advise you increase the logging level on the server and retry.

Because Dovecot offers TLS (STLS/STARTTLS) and fetchmail uses it..

Whatever this is. Something's wrong here, but I'm not going to look at 6.3.2.
