I am having one linux client also, I have tried your command which says
dovecot is working perfectly as follows :
arun at ITQS - Arun:~$ telnet 172.16.251.234 143
Trying 172.16.251.234...
Connected to 172.16.251.234.
Escape character is '^]'.
* OK Dovecot ready.

I have tried  to connect Dovecot through Evolution on that client which
gives following error :

Unable to authenticate to IMAP server
IMAP command failed. Authentication failed.
