Interesting sounding problem. Can't think of any reason off the top of 
my head that TBird would work differently on Win95 than XP.

What version of dovecot? Also, what platform/version is dovecot running on?

Dovecot -n output (and any other config details not provided by that 
output) is also generally needed.
