I know that there are some issues with latest Apple Mail
(
http://goo.gl/RmCGc), but I am unable to resolve them.
Does anyone of you have a similar case and knows how to resolve it? I
have tried to change the imap_capability, but it does not resolve
This is rather strange, because we fixed that problem by removing
AUTH=PLAIN from the capabilities string, which had no place being
there in the first place (cut and paste from the dovecot
capabilities). Note that the apple mail client tries to use this even
when SASL itself was not announced, somebody taking mighty big
liberties with the RFC at apple there.
You will likely want to remove that AUTH=LOGIN capability and reload
perdition.
For what it's worth, this seems to work for us right now with a dovecot
1.2 backend, note the absence of all AUTH bits:
Thank you for the hint. Did you experience any problems with the clients
after removing AUTH values?
Our dovecot installation lists AUTH versions, that is why we are still
sticking to it.

Thank you in advance,
