thank you!!
so I did troubleshoot and looks like server side doesn't accept plaintext authentication. I will try to test it with plaintext enabled and let you know the results.
My another question, how I can achieve the same for secure IMAP? I'm not using iapp template and all config is manual. I want to define username and password to login to the server. should I be using IMAP or HTTPS monitor?
Thanks in advance for your help.

You could create an external shell script that would make use of 'openssl s_client' to create an SSL connection, and then run its own IMAP check, but you would have to write this yourself, or find one already written here on devcentral (I haven't looked to see if there are any). An HTTPS monitor would not work, as it speaks HTTP over SSL, and you need to speak IMAP over SSL.
- Eddy_161863May 09, 2016Nimbostratusthanks. I will look for a script on devcentral.
