Okay, that make sense. Perhaps, a note about that somewhere might prove
useful.

I think that what was confusing, at least for me, is that the "doveadm-pw"
man page says:
-l List all supported password schemes and exit successfully.
There are up to three optional password schemes: BLF-CRYPT
Blowfish crypt), SHA256-CRYPT and SHA512-CRYPT. Their
availability depends on the system's currently used libc.
I had assumed, obviously incorrectly, that I had to enter the scheme into the
dovecot conf file as indicated earlier.
Perhaps, for people like me that are not the sharpest knife in the drawer, a
notation to that affect might prove useful.
Just my 2 ￠.

I guess the manpage could use some updating. Thank you for pointing this out.
