May I make a suggestion? Install a  copy of 'the other' IMAP server on
the same box as you have Dovecot. Stop Dovecot, run that server, see if
Outlook connects. Disconnect Outlook, stop that server, start Dovecot,
and try again. That way the ONLY difference is the IMAP server, and
anything silly (firewall rules, routers, hardware, random acts of
omnipotent beings) should be eliminated. Yes, I know you'll say none of
those things apply in this case, but SOMETHING is different.
