Says it all in the title. To give you some background, I'm a programmer. I'm not into installing mail servers as a hobby, and I'm having to make one because the project I'm creating will need to use a webmail type service (like roundcube, or my own creation).
My problem comes about when I'm trying to install Dovecot/Postfix and configure SMTP and IMAP services to work properl (excuse me if I use some of these words improperly). I have tried everything to try and gain access via login (telnet, webmail [roundcube], and external software(s) such as email clients (via desktop)).
In telnet, here's what happens when I try logging into either "my" IMAP/email account, or the "admin" IMAP/email account.
user@server:~/# telnet server.com imap
Trying 11.11.11.11...
Connected to server.com.
Escape character is '^]'.
* OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 LITERAL+ SASL-IR LOGIN-REFERRALS ID ENABLE IDLE AUTH=PLAIN AUTH=LOGIN] Dovecot ready.
LOGIN logan password
LOGIN BAD First parameter in line is IMAP's command tag, not the command name. Add that before the command, like: a login user pass
a1 LOGIN logan password
a1 NO [AUTHENTICATIONFAILED] Authentication failed.
a1 LOGIN admin password
a1 NO [AUTHENTICATIONFAILED] Authentication failed.
a1 LOGIN admin
a1 BAD Error in IMAP command received by server.
a1 LOGIN logan 06E0AF9E904FE4CD9D743B4A06ECB3D9467CF9DF
a1 NO [AUTHENTICATIONFAILED] Authentication failed
With regards to the 06E0AF9E904FE4CD9D743B4A06ECB3D9467CF9DF, all this is, is a SHA-1 hashed password for added security. I have both plain-text passwords set and hashed passwords to see if that was the issue, and it didnt help; or it messed it up more.
In roundcube, this is error log file within the /logs directory of my webmail installation.
Here are just some of the lines:

I've tried using the full email address, as well as just the username for the given defined users under /etc/postfix/vmail_mailbox
Thanks, and any help is greatly appreciated (and I hope I'm in the right place).
