Thanks for responding, but still no go.  My updated dovecot.conf looks  
like this:

dovecot -n
# /etc/dovecot.conf
login_dir: /var/run/dovecot/login
login_executable(default): /usr/libexec/dovecot/imap-login
login_executable(imap): /usr/libexec/dovecot/imap-login
login_executable(pop3): /usr/libexec/dovecot/pop3-login
mail_location: maildir:~/Maildir
mail_debug: yes
mail_executable(default): /usr/libexec/dovecot/imap
mail_executable(imap): /usr/libexec/dovecot/imap
mail_executable(pop3): /usr/libexec/dovecot/pop3
mail_plugin_dir(default): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap
mail_plugin_dir(imap): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap
mail_plugin_dir(pop3): /usr/lib/dovecot/pop3
namespace:
   type: private
   separator: .
   location: maildir:~/Maildir
   inbox: yes
   hidden: yes
auth default:
   passdb:
     driver: pam
     args: *
   userdb:
     driver: passwd
     args: blocking=yes

If I run through the testinstallation -    
http://wiki.dovecot.org/TestInstallation, everything looks good.
telnet localhost 143

What else can I check?

Thanks again,
