Looking in secure.log as authentication error, didn't get to maillog.
maillog had error :-
dovecot: imap(usser1): Error: user user1: Initialization failed:
mail_location not set and autodetection failed:
Mail storage autodetection failed with home=/home/user1
So added this to dovecot.conf
mail_location = mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/var/mail/%u
Restarted dovecot and everything now works.
Thanks, John.
