You are in the root group. This is generally a bad idea, but you might
get away with setting first_valid_gid=0 in your config file (as the
error message suggests). See e.g. <http://wiki.dovecot.org/MainConfig>
for more information.

I'd suggest you set up a "normal" user in a "normal" group for reception
of mail.
