You userdb seems to be incomplete.
,--[ http://wiki2.dovecot.org/UserDatabase ]-- | … | The user database lookup returns these fields: | | * uid … | * gid … | * home … | * mail … | … `--
See the last example in <http://wiki2.dovecot.org/AuthDatabase/PasswdFile>. The password line for user armor5 would be:
armor5:{plain}abc123:1001:1001::/home/armor5
`mail' can be left blank, since you've configured mail_location.
