After what feels like a long struggle I've got my new CentOS mail

running to the point where I can run KMail on the same box and see all my

The dovecot configuration file has the line
disable_plaintext_auth = no
which always allowed login on the old system. Any ideas where I need to
look for this?
Found it. KMail setting needed to be changed from LOGIN to PLAIN
