Having these extra "Connected" log lines are pretty pointless for most  
people. But this should solve your problem: http://hg.dovecot.org/dovecot-1.2/rev/29b623366e1e

With that patch you can do for example:

login_log_format_elements = user=<%u> method=%m rip=%r lip=%l %c  
mailpid=%e

The patch probably doesn't apply to v1.1 code tree though.
