Mail can't connect to a dovecot imap server

Hi.

I am having problems connecting the mail client to a dovecot imap server. Thunderbird connects to the server fine. I can connect to other imap servers like a cyrus server no problems.

On the mail server connection page I get a “Request failed with status code 500”

On the mail server I see this in the log:

Feb 21 07:44:09 oi-mail1 dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=<XXXXX>, method=PLAIN, rip=192.168.0.153, lip=192.168.0.153, mpid=11744, TLS, session=<hgt85BefSMPAqACZ>

Any thoughts?

The dovecot installation I had configured had a folder called virtual/Flagged

I removed that folder and now it works fine.
