Hi Brian,
yes sounds likely, I am attempting to authenticate using the text: LOGIN username password
and I always recieve the error:
LOGIN BAD Error in IMAP command received by server.
With zero logged to the debug log... With courier IMAP this works by
default, I guess by default it doesnt work with dovecot...
thanks Andy.

Update on this problem, seems the only issue I had was that the telnet method of verifying IMAP authentication that works on Courier just doesnt work with Dovecot.
What did you use? What did you see in response? Correct syntax is simply
a login username password
... although now I come to think of it, you may need to enable this in dovecot.conf first, since by default it won't allow a plaintext login over an unsecured channel.
