Don -

I have just set up dovecot with postfix and done some very light testing,
including evolution, and it seems to be working okay for me. I made only
minimal changes from the default config. One thing I noticed is that in the
course of modifying "auth_mechanisms" I left a space at the end of the line
- dovecot was not happy at all. Make sure that none of the options that
allow space separated lists have a trailing space.
