You can use %p in mail_log_prefix to log imap/pop3 process PID. It  
can't be done with login processes, but even if it could be done I  
doubt it'd be useful in figuring out the matching login and  
disconnect? Unlike other IMAP servers Dovecot's login process doesn't  
directly execv() the imap process..

I've thought about this before too though. Maybe some kind of a unique  
cookie could be useful.
