[Dovecot] On IMAP vhost login, only Username being used

I tried the runtbird.sh script, hoping for more info - all it did was
show that auth is failing. I don't understand why Dovecot is separating
the username from the domain name, and trying to match only on the
username.  Seems like there must be a config setting that affects this
and that I'm overlooking.  Thanks ahead for any help with this.

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:
