How would I do the same under thunderbird from a machine in the same lan (taz.thespider.com)? It seems to keep trying to login as boris@mail.thespider.com, which will not fly.
Thunderbird logs in using whatever *string* you type in the username box. It doesn't even have to be in the format of an email address...
It does seem it is appending whatever string I type in theusername box to the front of the name of the mail server. So, if I have the username as boris@thespider.com, it will try to login as boris@thespider.com@mail.thespider.com
How do you determine that it uses such login? From Dovecot's logs? If this really is happening, there's something weird going on in your Thunderbird. It shouldn't be appending the server name to your login name.
