- How can I be sure I get a core next time? I think it's because I run dovecot/imap under a mail uid and didn't have write permission to the cwd. Any way to verify that was it, and be sure it works?
http://dovecot.org/bugreport.html explains all of the things you need to get core dumps. Although some of those settings are v1.x specific, so I should look into updating the page..
Anyway, you can also test that you really get core dumps by manually sending a SEGV signal to one test imap process.
- What other settings would provide more info if it happens again?
The gdb backtrace will be enough.

Run "ulimit -c unlimited" before starting dovecot.
