I installed the 7.x-2.8 and received this error: SECURITY PROBLEM: insecure server advertised AUTH=PLAIN
I needed this to work, so I rolled back to 7.x-2.7 and everything went as it should.

Title: Importing Error - security problem » Cannot connect using insecure authentication
Version: 7.x-2.8 » 7.x-2.9

This is due to reporting errors that didn't get reported previously. PHP IMAP gets REALLY upset if you don't use secure authentication, and will throw an error any time you try to connect to a server using plain text authentication.

You should consider using secure authentication.

However, I understand that's not always an option, so I added a checkbox to the mailbox config form to ignore authentication warnings...

Try the next dev release and let me know if it works for you.

Well Dane I'm still getting the same error. I'm looking for the checkbox...I do not see it. Any suggestions?

I had not upgraded to the correct version. I found the checkbox, it works like a champ! THANK YOU.
