I also tried the 0.99 and hacking login-process.c, with no success. It seems to expect a slash delimited string like 'name/protocol' and it just gets "imap" there, but I didn't figure out where this string comes from or what it ought to be.
IIRTCC, the string comes from login-common/main.c:master_connect(), which is called from login-common/main.c:main(), where it's constructed by taking the filename component of the executable ("imap-login") and removing the part after the hyphen (yielding "imap"). Since the filename component can't contain a slash, this looks like a slight oversight when changing the the configuration format.
You can use the --group= parameter to give imap-login what the master process wants ("default/imap", I guess).
Attaching suggested patch. With it, the default server name ("default") is assumed by the master process if the string sent by the login process doesn't contain any slash. If you have multiple server blocks in your configuration (undocumented feature as of yet, it appears!), you still need to add --group=<server>/<protocol> to the parameters of imap-login/pop3-login in your inetd/xinetd configuration.
(You could for example have different configurations for different interfaces, if I understand it correctly.)
Two comments on the patch: The first change is because I suspect buf isn't null-terminated. The last deletion (of "name = ...") is because I believe that line to be superfluous.
Thanks, Magnus!
That was the bit I was missing since I'm trying out dovecot for the very first time.
Unfortunately I have one more (newbie) problem : I am now able to authenticate against dovecot, but i cannot get any mail from it.

Any idea? Peter
