Unfortunately I have one more (newbie) problem : I am now able to authenticate against dovecot, but i cannot get any mail from it.
Logfile:

Did you upgrade from 1.0-test59 to 1.0-test62 (or possibly 61 or 60) between your posts? I hope you haven't mixed binaries from different versions, since that might cause strange errors.
I am running 1.0-test62, compiled from distclean source plus Magnus´ patch. I have cross-checked all binaries once more. They all bear the same timestamp.
One interesting thing to note is that my Thunderbird client opens up to 8 simultaneous imap sessions if used with uw-imapd.
Dovecot generates one more entry like the above in the mail log whenever i click on a mail or a folder within Thunderbird.
It might be that the uw-imapd directory structure is not compatible with dovecot but I would expect (a) that it will find at least the inbox at /var/[spool/]mail/$LOGNAME and (b) a different error message if this is the problem.
Still no success, Peter
