Hi Dmitriy,
I have  changed   sasl_minimum_layer: 0  to 128. I have no problem to
login to the inbox. but sieve is not working with

sasl_minimum_layer: 128. I have 2 question here

1> how can I check that authentication is secure by the setting sasl_minimum_layer 128 ?
2> what to do to enable the sieve ?

thanks for your guidance.
