(Is that under Windows?) But it seems to me more probable that the problem lies with Outlook than Dovecot. I use kmail, and I give my username and password there. If it were Linux, I'd try telnet to see if you get a connection. But I don't know the equivalent under Windows. Under Linux I get: --------------------------- [tim@carrie ~]$ telnet <a href="http://www.gayleard.com" target="_blank">www.gayleard.com</a> 143 Trying 86.43.71.228...
