Thank you very much... that was very informative. Unfortunately, I now
discover I fibbed when I said I had SASL auth set up - I only thought I
had... When I correctly configure thunderbird, I get the following
postfix messages in the log:

I'm sure I'm doing something silly - because googling the first warning
just gives me this bug <http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=299390>,
which doesn't seem to fit. I have this installed:

If I alter thunderbird to not use secure authentication, I get the
following instead.

Which seems quite strange.
My /etc/sasl2/smtpd.conf is the default for gentoo - i.e. it contains
the single config line:
> pwcheck_method:pam
I don't care if I use PAM or something else - as long as it lets me
authenticate. In the medium term, it would be best if neither IMAP nor
SMTP passwords had any relation to my system password (not that I allow
remote logins unsing it) - but, for the time being, I just want it to
let me authenticate and send from my phone.
By any chance can anyone give me any further clues?
