Cannot connect to new created mail account

[altaphista]

When I create a new email account and I try to login via squirrelmail or my favourite mailprogramme, I can't connect, it says that the login information is incorrect. (ERROR: Unknown user or password incorrect.)

If i send an email to the new user, and I look in /home/<usr>/imap/<domain>/<mailuser>/Maildir/new I can see that the email has arrived...
Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

the error line I get in the log when trying to login via Squirrelmail:

May 16 22:58:23 vps12345 dovecot: imap-login: Aborted login: user=<[email protected]>, method=PLAIN, rip=::ffff:127.0.0.1, lip=::ffff:127.0.0.1, secured

ok found the 'problem'. What did the trick for me was this:

cd /usr/local/directadmin/custombuild
./build clean
./build update

Check options.conf to have dovecot=yes

./build dovecot

Voila.
Thnx anyway for reading
