It might be that switching mailservers is not bug free, you might be bitten by that. I've just installed dovecot-imapd 1.0-rc2 and it works flawless for me.

The encryption of TLS is the same as for SSL. Your console shows that TLS is not supported. Did you compile Mailody manually? What was the end of the configure command? Did it tell you QCA was installed?

any news on this?
