Allow secure or insecure POP3/IMAP/SMTP connections without or with STARTTLS


It's strongly recommended to use only POP3S/IMAPS for better security.

Allow insecure POP3/IMAP connections

If you want to enable POP3/IMAP services without STARTTLS for some reason,  update below two parameters in Dovecot config file /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf and restart Dovecot service:

  • on Linux and OpenBSD, it's /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf
  • on FreeBSD, it's /usr/local/etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf
disable_plaintext_auth=no
ssl=yes

Again, it's strongly recommended to use only POP3S/IMAPS for better security.

Default and recommended:

disable_plaintext_auth=yes
ssl=required

Allow insecure SMTP connection

Please comment out lines below in Postfix config file /etc/postfix/main.cf and reload or restart Postfix service:

smtpd_tls_auth_only=yes
