Dovecot external Login

    Hey guys,


    i had an issue while checking mails over external programs like thunderbird.
    Configuration went good , everything fine. But if i want to check mails there is always a problem while authenticate.


    Code
    1. Mar 20 06:49:50 eins dovecot: pop3-login: Disconnected (no auth attempts): rip=221.127.120.142, lip=89.144.56.68, TLS handshaking: SSL_accept() failed: error:140760FC:SSL routines:SSL23_GET_CLIENT_HELLO:unknown protocol
    2. Mar 20 06:50:52 eins dovecot: pop3-login: Disconnected (no auth attempts): rip=221.127.120.142, lip=89.144.56.68, TLS handshaking: SSL_accept() failed: error:140760FC:SSL routines:SSL23_GET_CLIENT_HELLO:unknown protocol
    3. Mar 20 07:13:19 eins dovecot: imap-login: Disconnected (auth failed, 3 attempts): user=<info>, method=PLAIN, rip=84.133.73.175, lip=89.144.56.68, TLS
    4. Mar 20 07:15:43 eins dovecot: imap-login: Disconnected (auth failed, 3 attempts): user=<info>, method=PLAIN, rip=84.133.73.175, lip=89.144.56.68, TLS


    I think its a problem with the server name, (right?!) because my fqdn is
    eins.tld.com an not as listed "eins".


    I didn't used dovecot till now, so i didnt really know where to fix this issues. Anyone who can help a little?


    thanks



    // oh i'd forget: login from webmail is okay ;-)

    Edited once, last by smokers ().

    You listed two things from the log:


    two disconnection from pop3 and two disconnection from imap. The imap at least seem to have a faulty username.


    The pop3 logins seem to have a problem with TLS.


    Normally thunderbird asks if the cert is not ok (self signed etc).
    Try to connect without TLS/SSL etc - just plain text and then try the other options (STARTTLS or SSL - on port 993).


    I tried to connect your server on port 993 and 995 (IMAPS, POP3S) and this worked (unsing openssl)...

    Mhh thank you man ;-)
    Everthying was great on server side :D I've just missed the fact that thunderbird on standard use only the mailbox-name in default to authenticate, so the username should be "[email protected]" and not as listed, "info".


    You have to manualy set the username from box_name to [email protected] in thunderbird.


    ive just didn't read exact while creating the imap folder in tb.


    thanks a lot
