I'm trying to set up Email for a client... I have had this problem before when setting up company Email. I'm getting errors... plain text authentication not allowed. Please help.

It sounds like Dovecot is setup to not allow plaintext authentication.
You can change that by logging into your server as root, edit /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf, and make sure you have a line like this:
disable_plaintext_auth = noAfter setting then, you'd want to restart Dovecot by typing:
/etc/init.d/dovecot restart
