The final requirement to allow logins was to add/edit these entries in
/etc/pam.conf:
# Mail services
imap auth required pam_unix.so
try_first_pass
imap account required pam_unix.so
imap session required pam_unix.so
pop3 auth required pam_unix.so
try_first_pass
pop3 account required pam_unix.so
pop3 session required pam_unix.so
Thanks for all of your help!
