Some progress.  I have added sasl authentication to postfix and dovecot, as 
todumented in HowTo/PostfixAndDovecotSASL.  On the server I set the account 
info to use TLS and plain text, and now the account can reload the resources.  
That appears to be fixed.

On the client box I don't understand what is happening.  The login is no 
longer refused, but the result is that the 'hidden' calendar file shows 75 
entries (the server says there are 747) and the 'hidden' contacts file is 
empty.  Neither the Calendar nor Contacts section of the pim display anything 
at all.  Any thoughts?
