sieve is working with allowplaintext: yes

OK list, finally I have solved it. in /etc/imapd.cong I have modified allowplaintext: yes sasl_minimum_layer: 0 sasl_mech_list: LOGIN PLAIN and now sieve is working well. but I like to know how [allowplaintext: yes] can effect my security than [allowplaintext: no] ? thanks Cyrus Hom
