I recently installed/configured Postfix and Dovecot on my Debian Squeeze server. I can send mail using telnet so I know everything is working alright, but I cannot connect the account to Outlook. Is there something I'm missing? Related maybe to SASL or SMTP?

Assuming th'art requiring authentication for SMTP, the most likely explanation is that the "login" mechanism is not enabled in dovecot's config - the relevant file is probably /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf
but may be something suitably named in /etc/dovecot/conf.d
. One of them should have a mechanisms
line, which needs to include login
- Outlook does not support the plain
mechanism.

I have
mechanisms = plain login
in dovecot.conf and have switched it around to "plain, login" or "login plain" but to no avail unfortunately. Jan 10, 2013 at 1:59 -
