Oh, man, Timo. You're a life saver.
I have a small number of virtual users, so I added them to the system users and then copied their records out of master.passwd into the imap password file. When I get LDAP working again I'll just delete the insecure imap file and remove the virtural users from the system. But I failed to notice that master.passwd has some extra fields, two of which are occupied by zeros.
Timo, I started using dovecot about a year and a half ago, and I've been reading the mail list during that whole time. You've been consistently knowledgeable, helpfull, and extremely nice to everyone during that period. I'm strongly inclined to recommend dovecot to anyone who needs an IMAP server, not only because of the high quality of the software, but also because of the high quality of help on the mail list.
Thanks to everyone who responded. I'll be watching the ports for dovecot-0.99.13 so I can switch back to LDAP.
