It is definitely the R state.
PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND 6717 arno 20 0 2964 1608 1192 R 100 0.2 1158:05 imap
btw: I have switched from imaps to imap protocol, because I thought this might change something. But it does not.
You could see if compiling Dovecot without inotify/dnotify support would help. I can't really think of anything else.
To me it really seems like a kernel bug if a process in R state can't be killed.
