Imap Config Problems

[TheSpeedoBeast]

I have my imap server nearly set up on my new sarge installation, but I cannot connect to it. I can send mail from it via mutt, but not connect to it with thunderbird, etc. I am using the default tasksel mail server installation (exim4, procmail, uw-imapd). I have a sneaking suspicion that my maildirs aren't set up correctly, but could anyone walk me through this possibly? I am at a total loss after a solid day of frustration :)

I've never used uw-imapd, but I have learned a bit about maildirs...how do you have them set up?

I'm using exim with courier-imapd . http://www.trekweb.com/~jasonb/articles/exim_maildir_imap.html

Figured this one out finally; it had to do with not accepting plain-text passwords by default, so I used imaps on port 993 instead. But now squirrelmail doesn't work because it needs to be able to log in via port 143, on the non-secure imap server. So does anyone know how to enable plain-text passwords on a debian sarge install?
