Hello, does setting the allowplaintext option in imapd.conf help? The change that probably introduced this is: https://bugzilla.andrew.cmu.edu/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/src/cyrus/doc/install-upgrade.html.diff?r1=1.36&r2=1.37
Tomas, Yes that corrected the problem. Adds: AUTH=PLAIN SASL-IR to the capability list. Thank you. Bob...
