It fails!! Some problem with the 110 port?
Check the dovecot log. Authentication errors at the client side are deliberately vague for security reasons. The actual reason for your failure to authenticate will be in the server mail logs.
Check /var/log/maillog, or look at your syslog config to see where it is going.
