The reason for using debian etch and dovecot 1.0 is the hardware: it's running on a Fritzbox-Router, and there is actual a littlebit trouble with lenny (often crashing, reboots of the whole box etc.)
Though I don't anticipate this will solve your prime issue, we were able to (still) somewhat update Dovecot on a Debian Etch box using the Archive at Debian; we used these:
http://archive.debian.org/debian-backports/pool/main/d/dovecot/dovecot-commo...
http://archive.debian.org/debian-backports/pool/main/d/dovecot/dovecot-imapd...
Apparently, the backports repository can still be used (no updates):
Debian Backports "Today the Backports for Debian Etch got removed from the backports.debian.org archive. Should you really still need them, the backports are still available from http://archive.debian.org/debian-backports [1] but we recommend everybody to upgrade from Etch with backports to Lenny (with backports) now, as there is no security support anymore for Etch." http://backports.debian.org/
