Ok but I don't find a way to devalidate the encryption on PLAIN password
login as we have on your Courier server. We have about 300 users with
there mail client configured in PLAIN password and our customer don't
want change 300 users' PC.

We have to first migrate 300 Courier-IMAP /Maildir accounts to Cyrus
accounts and then make these accounts compatible with with our PLAIN
password login mechanism. I think that needs should be not too hard to
do. We have tested Dovecot and we don't encountered this kind of problem.

Thanks for your help.

I put in attachment our imapd.conf and cyrus.conf

Sam.
