OK QUERY is WORKING ("password_query" relies on having a field/column
"password', hence the addition under WHERE):
password_query = \
SELECT username AS USER, \
IF(cryptpwd IS NULL OR cryptpwd=' ', CONCAT('{PLAIN}',clearpwd),
cryptpwd) AS PASSWORD, \
'/var/vmail/%d/%n' as userdb_home, \
'maildir:/var/vmail/%d/%n' as userdb_mail, 150 as userdb_uid, 8 as
userdb_gid \
FROM mailbox \
WHERE username = '%u' AND active = '1' AND cryptpwd = password ('%w')
But still no happy dance, we now have a new error:
dovecot: imap-login: Disconnected (auth failed, 3 attempts in 15
secs): user=<user at domain.tld>, method=PLAIN, rip=165.255.109.89,
lip=10.0.0.12, TLS, session=<LywBS+0xdQCl/21Z>
