Thanks to Marius, I've got this problem fixed!

I don't know how or why, but selinux directory contexts have been altered during the update for everyone else on the system except myself (what makes it odd is that my user has the same group and permissions as everyone else).

So what did the trick was to apply:

chcon -t user_home_dir_t

to each user's home, mail, .imap and INBOX directories.

Thanks again for pointing me in the right direction, Marius!

Marius,

I do run the targeted policy. Are you suggesting a reinstall of the RPM?

Thank you, Ion

Nope. Read http://www.dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2007-January/018989.html maybe you have the same or related problem. If this helps post your solution to the list.
