> Adding an account in Outlook (2019 in my case) one must provide an email adddress. Example: elise at cloudzeeland.nl So that would be the username (and not simply elise). Dovecot does not understand that and respose with a 'non existing user' kinda of message.

check Christian Schmidts proposal. At the start menu type "Control Panel" and in the opening control panel search for "mail". You will get a new window where you can set e-mail addresses and usernames independently. In your example, the username elise would be possible.

I hope this helps.
