I'd suggest not fixing Dovecot until after the clients are fixed, so that the vendors have something to test against.
I heartily agree. If the login procedure fails, there is also a bigger chance of more problems of the same kind. The failing login procedure warns the user of a dataloss probability in his mailclient.
Dataloss is much worse than a not working mailclient.
It's probably not going to get fixed if they don't have access to a dovecot server (installed in a minute with debian). Or with the right business priority (unlikely without public pressure).
I can always ask. And I'm going to do that in the morning.
Good night,
Gerhard.
