Hi, Timo - from mail.warn log file, domain name redacted:
Aug 24 16:32:07 debian dovecot: imap(postmaster@v....org): Error: user postmaster@v....org: Couldn't drop privileges: Mail access for users with UID 89 not permitted (see first_valid_uid in config file, uid from userdb lookup).
OK, so it is the first_valid_uid that's the problem.. In your previous doveconf -n output you didn't have first_valid_uid set at all, which defaults to 500. So: set first_valid_uid=89, verify that doveconf -n shows it in its output, and check if the error message changes.
