Hi Michael,

So, no more errors in the log and  admin/activesync.php is available again.

However, my username/password is being refused on the devices.  I've
double and triple checked the input.

There's no error in any of the logs - not the apache one, not the
horde one and not the dovecot one.

The (Android) phone says:
Username/Password incorrect.  (Authentication failed.)

The iPhone says:
Exchange Account.  Unable to verify account information

IMAP is working.

Without a meaningful error, I have nowhere to look.

Thanks.

Simon
