Try

systemctl show dovecot | grep Protect

Okay, I did this, and ProtectSystem=full was there.  So I created
override.conf in /etc/systemd as per the above and restarted Dovecot.
The override.conf goes to /etc/systemd/system/dovecot.service.d/ to be included.
Issue systemctl daemon-reload before restarting dovecot.
systemctl cat dovecot.service shows you the content of the involved conf files
No joy.  Evolution is still begging for a password and Dovecot is still
rejecting it.  And yes, I've verified I'm using the correct  password.
