                   I think I'd prefer snakes at this point

It took a bit more than just setting pop3_uidl_format to get Microsoft
[DELETED-Lookout-DELETED] Outlook to fully work with the email system [1] on
the dedicated server. The customer could receive mail, but not send.

I'll spare you the details (namely because I want to spare myself the
details) but to get Outlook to work with dovecot [2] and postfix [3].

In /etc/postfix/main.cf:

> smtpd_recipient_restrictions = permit_sasl_authenticated, permit_mynetworks, reject_unauth_destination
> smtpd_sasl_auth_enable = yes
> smtpd_sasl_local_domain = $myhostname
> smtpd_sasl_path = private/auth
> smtpd_sasl_security_options = noanonymous
> smtpd_sasl_type = dovecot
>

And in /etc/dovecot.conf:

> ssl_disable = no
>
> auth default {
>   mechanisms = plain digest-md5 cram-md5 login
>   passdb passwd-file {
>     args = /etc/dovecot-passwd
>   }
>
>   # and because once isn't enough ...
>
>   userdb passwd-file {
>     args = /etc/dovecot-passwd
>   }
>
>   socket listen {
>     client {
>       path = /var/spool/postfix/private/auth
>       mode = 0660
>       user = postfix
>       group = postfix
>     }
>   }
> }
>
> # and from yesterday ...
>
> pop3_uidl_format = %08Xu%08Xv

Oh, and make sure saslauthd is running.
