Do you have authentication enabled in Thunderbird for POP3/IMAP/SMTP? It's required.

IMAP port 143 with STARTTLS, SMTP port 587 with STARTTLS. These are correct.

How did you create this mail user?

Re: iRedMail username or password incorrect

*) According to Dovecot debug log, it successfully got the user info and password. so the account was successfully created.
*) Does Thunderbird work if you stop iptables firewall on iRedMail server? Do you have any firewall devices site between your laptop/Thunderbird and iRedMail server?

Re: iRedMail username or password incorrect

on the mail server the iptables rules are the standard ones created by the iredmail script during the installation. There is no firewall on the client

Re: iRedMail username or password incorrect

What's the error message in Thunderbird and Dovecot log file now?

*) if same username/password works with SOGo, that means password is correct.
*) There's no firewall devices between your server and Thunderbird, and Dovecot had related log of thunderbird connection attempts, so network is ok.

In this case, Thunderbird is expected to work.
