Hi,

Does anyone know if it is possible to make dovecot to only accept connections from specific clients such as Thunderbird on Squirrelmail an deny access to Outlook (as it creates folders) etc..

Probably not. The trouble is the IMAP (or POP, AFAIK) protocol doesn't really give the client a chance to identify itself in the way that, say, HTTP does. The only thing you could do is try to identify a client by some sort of "signature" usage of IMAP commands which would be unreliable, and a lot of work, besides!

Best Wishes, Chris
