Dovecot is not reading connections from iOS devices correctly. Any ideas?

 From the dovecot logs.

secs): user=<>, rip=192.168.0.1, lip=192.168.0.15,

When I try to connect using either the iOS Mail app, or Outlook mail 
app, nothing happens at al with ssl, and if I use plain login the iOS 
device tells me I have either the username or password wrong - which I 
haven't.

Connection from Mac with MailMate works fine. iOS doesn't.

so I'm stumped. I can't see why this is refusing the connection.
