Hello,
I try to get dovecot up, but I run into a lot of problems. However, here is one of the questions I can not solve about the dovecot wiki:
I like to have "Virtual Users" and I am using for this a passdb file.
http://wiki2.dovecot.org/VirtualUsers
The password in it "can be in any format that Dovecot supports"..http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Authentication/PasswordSchemes
I have decided to take 'SHA512', but testing the POP3 connecttion with telnet on port 110 this doesn't work. It says the password can not be confirmed...
On the other hand I am using Outlook as client.
So, I ask me now, if Outlook at all is abel to work with this SHA512 crypt passwords to connect with dovecote (IMAP + POP3 - Server)?
Can someone tell me if this should be possible? Or should I better take a standard
encryption like MD5-CRYPT for the passords in the passwd file when using Oulook as client?
Many thanks for an idea! - Harald
