I followed the HOWTO Email system for the home netwok and get this "imapd-ssl: authentication error: Input/output error" in my mail.err file everytime I try to log in. I have tried looking over the web on this forum but nothing I have seen works.
I have double and tripple checked everything that I thought would cause this but im still stumped.

are you using courier-authlib? If so, do you have authdaemond running?
(/etc/init.d/courier-authlib status)
