Thanks Thomas
that helped a lot auth problems now solved
I also had to change the dovecot.conf
mail_location = mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/var/spool/mail/home/%u to mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir
because I got too many permission errors - NOT sure if this is correct now for POP3-only mail without any imap ...
still some other stuff to fix - like mail sent to me disappears etc :) and/or stays in mailq
greetings
hans

[...] If you want to enable user@domain logins but have only "user" in the file, set this to %n.
passdb: driver: passwd-file args: username_format=%n /etc/dovecot/passwd
Try that format and see if it helps.
