yeah, I was already in the config, and reading a few HOW-TO's..
saw the entry for plain_text_auth=yes or whatever that variable was (
from memory), but I had already changed that.
I wasn't trying to log in via IMAPS, just IMAP, plain text.
pop didn't work either, so I'm guessing it it is something else. I WAS
able to get this to work on the M$ XP side using thunderbird, and I was
able to connect to my IMAP account in windows,so it is most definitely
an issue with my Ubuntu 10.10 laptop setup.. so I'm looking at the wrong
side.. it isn't Debian dovecot that has the issue, it is ubuntu laptop
that can't connect.. my bad..

no problem, if it doesn't help me, it might help someone else:)
