Attempting IMAP SSL login on new installation, using Icedove (Debain
Thunderbird variant), login fails.  Logs show Dovecot attempting to match
username only, not username with domain name, on Vpopmail user, so of
course no match. Tried with '@' in full username, also with '%'. What's
missing?

Log shows:
