> How did you generate those keys and put them into krb5.keytab?
I logged onto my domain controller via RDP and issued the following
commands:

**************** keytabs generation *********************
ktpass -princ imap/efim.test.local at ROMASHKA.LAN -mapuser dovecot
 -pass megasuperpassword -ptype KRB5_NT_SRV_HST -out imap.keytab

ktpass -princ pop/efim.test.local at ROMASHKA.LAN -mapuser dovecot
 -pass megasuperpassword -ptype KRB5_NT_SRV_HST -out pop.keytab

ktpass -princ smtp/efim.test.local at ROMASHKA.LAN -mapuser dovecot
 -pass megasuperpassword -ptype KRB5_NT_SRV_HST -out smtp.keytab
************************************************************

Then I moved "imap.keytab", "pop.keytab" and "smtp.keytab" onto my
dovecot server machine and merged them into single file with "ktutil":
************** ktutil commands **************
rkt imap.keytab
rkt pop.keytab
rkt smtp.keytab
wkt krb5.keytab
quit
************************************************

Yes, I am.

Sorry, I'm not sure in realizing what you mean. What is "LDAP/setspn"?
