[Dovecot] authentication failure with known good credentials???

[Dave Stevens]

Hi,

  I have a problem on my server. To illustrate, I created a new user,  
unclewiggly, and set up a password. I then used sent an email from my  
usual account. Logging in with my browser I am able to see the inbox,  
the mail and contents correctly. I then set up a new instance of  
Eudora 7.1 on my windows 7 box with the appropriate login id and check  
the account using the correct password. The fetch fails with the  
client reporting an authentication failure.

Ideas? Places to look? Logfiles I can search? Maillog doesn't seem  
very informative, should I send a snippet?

Thanks,

Dave
