Hi Timo,
I had just tested rc5 today and it didn't work for me. So I just downloaded rc6 and same problem. Here's what I'm seeing in the log.
dovecot: May 29 19:10:10 Error: IMAP(support@junkemailfilter.com): mail_location: maildir: Unknown setting: dovecot: May 29 19:10:10 Fatal: IMAP(support@junkemailfilter.com): Namespace initialization failed dovecot: May 29 19:10:10 Error: IMAP(marc@perkel.com): mail_location: maildir: Unknown setting: dovecot: May 29 19:10:10 Fatal: IMAP(marc@perkel.com): Namespace initialization failed dovecot: May 29 19:10:10 Info: imap-login: Login: user=<marc@perkel.com>, method=PLAIN, rip=24.143.247.50, lip=65.49.42.45, TLS dovecot: May 29 19:10:10 Error: IMAP(support@junkemailfilter.com): mail_location: maildir: Unknown setting: dovecot: May 29 19:10:10 Fatal: IMAP(support@junkemailfilter.com): Namespace initialization failed

If this isn't a compatible setting then it should be documented here.

I was going to give the passwd-file authentication a test s that I know that it works with my weird configuration.
