That should be qualified as "Is it possible to have Dovecot imap/pop daemons listening on multiple ports for a single running instance."
You can run two instances of dovecot, each on a different port or multi-homed listening address. You can share libraries, binaries, log files, but use separate configuration files, specifying different ports/addresses/ssl-configs/auth/access parameters. Then you can fire them both up
dovecot -c /dovecot/etc/dovecot-1.conf
dovecot -c /dovecot/etc/dovecot-2.confThat's the rough sketch of how to do it.
