Timo,

I got bit last night during my upgrade to beta1 by uncommenting the following part of dovecot.conf for my site:

#passdb passwd-file { # File contains a list of usernames, one per line #args = /etc/dovecot.deny #deny = yes #}

I did a "s/#//" over this block of code, thereby uncommenting the comment too. Then I wondered why beta1 wouldn't start for me, until I found the conf syntax error. I suggest "bullet-proofing" some of the comments in dovecot-example.conf against this error, like so:

#passdb passwd-file { ### File contains a list of usernames, one per line #args = /etc/dovecot.deny #deny = yes #}

Attached is a diff against beta1 dovecot-example.conf to fix this kind of dumb mistake.
