thanks Timo,
I only saw your reply today and it indeed provides a workaround for this bug.
thanks

hi,
I've just upgraded our dovecot installation to the most recent debian package (0.99.20050712) and now I'm running into some weird problems. Virtual (LDAP based) users cannot login anymore, the logfile shows this:
-------CUT------- dovecot: Aug 02 12:34:25 Error: Logins with UID 200 (user some.user) not permitted (see first_valid_uid in config file) -------CUT-------
yet /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf has this for the mentioned parameter:
first_valid_uid = 1 first_valid_gid = 1
"regular" users can login however ...
another thing: the login only fails when using IMAP, POP3 works without problems ...
Sounds like this problem:

You could move the first_valid_uid/gid before any protocol { .. } to fix it. It'll also be fixed in next stable snapshot.
