Hi, I'm using Virtualmin and I've just installed it on VPS machine. But I can't imap login using Thunderbird. The following was written in the log:
Dec 6 19:46:20 www dovecot: pop3-login: Aborted login (no auth attempts): rip=***.***.***.***, lip=***.***.***.***
Dec 6 19:46:41 www dovecot: imap-login: Aborted login (no auth attempts): rip=***.***.***.***, lip=***.***.***.***
Previously I've never met such a problem, the others all worked.
Login from Windows command prompt was done successfully:
telnet hostname 143
* OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 LITERAL+ SASL-IR LOGIN-REFERRALS ID ENABLE IDLE STARTTLS AUTH=PLAIN AUTH=LOGIN] Dovecot ready.
1 login "username" "password"

Here is the result of dovecot -n.

No email is reached though I sent several emails to the server from gmail. Anyone please tell me what is going on.
Looks like a Thunderbird problem to me. You might want to delete and re-create the account in Thunderbird and try different settings for connection, like SSL/no SSL, and plain text login vs. encrypted login.
Thank you for your reply. Firstly I thought it was a Thunderbird problem, but it isn't. The test mail I sent from gmail account got back, it wrote

So I checked whether postfix worked, and eventually I restarted postfix and it worked! I don't know what's happened still now, but anyway I can keep using Virtualmin. Thank you.
