Hallo.

 

I am using Courier Imap with MySQL and it works well. My Problem is that I can’t use encrypted passwords. I tried to comment out  MYSQL_CLEAR_PWFIELD and activate MYSQL_CRYPT_PWFIELD. I encrypted my passwords with the MySQL function encrypt. But after this no login was possible. I have made the same question but nobody does response me. Please help me I’m desperate and I can’t find a solution.

This is probably because MySQL's encrypt() function does not encrypt passwords the same way that Courier does. Courier uses the standard triple-DES encryption, the same one used by your passwd command. MySQL's encrypt() probably does something completely different.
