Both tell me, that they use the full e-mail address in both mentioned fields.
As you can see in this modified log on lines 0009 and 0010, Outlook 2007 is first trying to log in with isolated name (without domain) and tries again on line 0016 with full e-mail address.
A similar behaviour is going on with IMAP connections.

Yes, mine only attempts a single login with the full email address. In both the email address and username fields I have the full email address. Outlook version:
[Microsoft® Office Outlook® 2007 (12.0.6316.5000) SP1 MSO (12.0.6320.5000)]
I'm using port 143 with clear text login on CommuniGate Pro 5.2.7. To be clear, this is IMAP, not MAPI, but I think even with MAPI, it logged in using the full address first if that's what I specified. Make sure you don't have just the account name portion in the user name field in the Outlook account settings.
The behavior you're seeing would indicate that only the account name is in that box and when that fails, Outlook tries the email address field. Please check the Outlook account settings and make sure the full email address is in both email address AND user name.
You might also check your update level. Sometimes bad behaviors are corrected in updates, and I can't check previous versions.

Changing the port from 143 to 993 or the other way around produces the same errors.

Do your Outlook 2007 clients log in with the full email address when entered completely? My clients don't. Outlook 2007 always strips off the first part and tries to log in with it. It then get's kicked off (unknown user account) and tries again with the whole email address. This problem is as old as Outlook 2007 (I already wrote about it in the first email).
Bret, I found an old email from you (Feb 8, 2007) about NTLM and MSN login methods:
====
I've disabled NTLM and MSN login methods per your suggestion. I think I had those disabled, but after a recent CGP upgrade, they seem to have come back. That said, we have had no other reports of trouble except from Outlook 2007
users, so it may be a problem specific to the new version of Outlook. I'll check with the user and see if disabling those fixed the issue.
Upgrading to CGPro 5.1.x moves those settings from SMTP > Receiving to domain settings, but the previous settings are NOT preserved so you return to the defaults. I wish Stalker would do a bit of effort to preserve settings like that between versions so we don't have to read about someone losing them and then remember to note them and re-enter them when we finally get around to updating. It wouldn't seem difficult to note that the first time 5.1.x loads there isn't any domain defaults for those and go looking in the old place. That's not too hard, is it? (Doesn't seem to be to me...)
Bret
====
I've too disabled NTLM and MSN login methods years ago. But I ran into the same problem, that upgrading to CGP 5.1 switched them on again. I turned them off last Friday. The problem with Outlook 2007 from secondary domains is gone! But the fact that Outlook 2007 still tries to log in with the first part of the email address is still the same. This will not hamper their communication, though. It just fills up my log a bit more...
But now I have a new problem: My inhouse Outlook 2003 client cannot get emails anymore. They can send, but not retrieve. They are also connected via MAPI.
As the login methods are domain based now, I turned on MSN (NTLM is not needed per tests) and now the inhouse clients can communicate again.
The cosmetic problem with many thousand lines in the log "failed to open 'abc'. Error Code=unknown user account" remains, but all clients can communicate without problems.
If it helps anyone, great!
If somone has other ideas or explanation, I greatly listen to you.
