Setting up a new email account leads to the final step where the mail client tries to login using IMAP and SMTP in order to finish the email account setup.

IMAP works fine but I do have problems with SMTP:

I know that the CRAM-MD5 in the capabilities of the mailserver do not work. I need to setup mail clients to use PLAIN as method. But the Jolla mail client just sticks to CRAM-MD5 so I am not able to finish the account setzup.

1. Do you know how to prevent this behaviour or how to edit/create an SMTP account using PLAIN?
2. It also seems to be a regression as creating accounts worked a few month ago.

(Update: It seems to be a general issue on dovecot mail servers and also on posteo.de. This will be a show stopper for lots of tablet users as well)
