Something's really messed up then. Maybe there's some mmap() problems, try if setting "default_mail_env = mbox:~/Mail:INDEX=MEMORY" helps?

This results in

dovecot: Apr 23 11:16:05 Error: child 86116 (imap) killed with signal 11

Is it worth finding out where the sigsegv in imap happens?

Yes, I'd like to know why it crashes. I've tried to prevent that everywhere. Two ways to do this:

a) Run the imap binary directly: MAIL=mbox:~/Mail:INDEX=MEMORY gdb /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap r x select inbox .. crash? bt

b) Set mail_drop_priv_before_exec = yes in config file, and core dump should be written to your home directory.

I think I should write this down somewhere in web :)
