sorry for the spam and not put it in one reply

login_log_format_elements = %status <%u> %r %m %c %cipher
login_log_format          = %s

Sep 21 18:39:47 localhost dovecot: imap-login: OK, <rhsoft at test.rh>, 192.168.2.2, CRAM-MD5, DHE-RSA-CAMELLIA256-SHA

"TLSv1 with cipher DHE-RSA-CAMELLIA256-SHA" for %k leads to linebreaks in "tail -f" which
makes it hard to follow while the proposd above contains any needed information and fits
on a 27" screen in a single line, in case of unencrypted %cipher would be simply supressed

cat maillog | grep imap | grep "OK, "
cat maillog | grep imap | grep "failed, "

cat maillog | grep pop3 | grep "OK, "
cat maillog | grep pop3 | grep "failed, "
