Login failed because your username or password was entered incorrectly


Login failed because your username or password was entered incorrectly >> Horde
Roundcube: connection to storage server failed

it may be that the dovecot index files are for an older version of dovecot, and don't work full with the new version.
To resolve that issue, simply delete all dovecot index files, and dovecot will re-create them when it notices they're missing.

You should test this on one User first, before doing it on all Users.
Also, backup the dovecot* files of the test User first (shouldn't be required, but not a bad thing to do)

Fix 

====
cd /home
/etc/init.d/dovecot stop
rm -f */imap/*/*/Maildir/dovecot*
rm -f */imap/*/*/Maildir/.*/dovecot*
rm -f */Maildir/dovecot*
rm -f */Maildir/.*/dovecot*
/etc/init.d/dovecot restart
====
Dovecot will recreate the dovecot* files once the User logs in.
