Frank, please do a plaintext connect on IMAP port 143 from your mail client
to dovecot with a changed test password and record your traffic using tcpdump
or wireshark, something like this:

tcpdump -n -s 0 -w /tmp/pcap.dat -i eth0 tcp port 143

Then view the file pcap.dat with wireshark[1], right click on the TCP connection
and select "Follow TCP Stream" from the context menu. Then you'll get the IMAP
commands and responses spoken between Thunderbird and Dovecot.

Regards
Daniel
