cyrus pop server authentication issues

[Midiean]

I am putting together an email server using sendmail and cyrus imap/pop. Sendmail currently has no issues with it. I can connect, authenticatate and send mail all day long. The problem is with cyrus. I can see the server, telnet to port 110. However, i can't authenticate using any mail client program. I've tried on KMail and MS Outlook and both are coming back with invalid password responses.

I've tried changing the config files in pam.d
pop
imap
lmtp
sieve

to the same folder address for authentication as sendmails, thinking it may be an issue of improper authentication files, but that hasn't worked. I've dumped the rpm and reinstalled to take out the possibility of bad install. I've been pounding my head on this for a coulpe days, anyone have any ideas as to what would be causing an authentication error like this?

Are you running any transport layer security ? If you are running something like ssl you'll need to make sure that sendmail was compiled with support for ssl ? If you are not running any TLS make sure that the mail client is not set up with any kind of added security.
