After the boot the permissions visible are: drwxr-xr-x root root /var/run/dovecot drwxr-x--- root dovecot /var/run/dovecot/login
What permissions do I need to set so that the warnings do not appear?
It needs to be owned by a non-root user. Otherwise, compromising the server could result in compromising your box, and dovecot won't allow that.
Try adding a non-priv'd user to your system; one that doesn't have access to anything, and is not usedby any other program. Then set the permission of dovecot to that user.
