Make sure you have the sasl plain shared library installed. It might be
installed from a separate OS package. Use pluginviewer (or
saslpluginviewer) to view the installed plugins.

You can telnet to port 143, and verify that it's being offered. You
should see 'AUTH=PLAIN' listed. You should not expect to see
'LOGINDISABLED'.

Also, check your syslog (auth facility) for any errors.
