    Hi,
    i have postfix, saslauthd , mysql, dovecot running on
    many servers ( suse 10.1), i have no problem, using
    outlook express, outlook, thunderbird
    ( latest versions )
    whatever pop3, imap, imaps, pop3s
    smtp, smtps
    with virtual domain postfixadmin
    so in my eyses problems are a configure issue
    i configured saslauthd to ask imap dovecot with plaintext passwords
    ( plain is not not nice but needed for other stuff in my case )
    Regards and happy new year
