It's resolved. There's been many changes from Fedora 7 to RHEL 6/CentOS 6.3. One was a system authentication app. Dovecot was configured correctly, but the app was set to kerebos (sp?). Once I made the app match plaintext all worked.
I set up the Fedora web/mail server some years ago. It's been running smoothly ever since except that user growth plus expanding the website created a growing performance hit---hence the new, faster, larger box.
My learning curve is still steep discovering and understanding the changes since Fedora 7.

However, another user on the same system works! User bob was the one I created on the initial CentOS install, joe was added later.
So, did you compare bob and joe...? Looks the same in passwd, group, shadow? Checked requirements in pam.d? Used ID> 500 ?
