Re: [Dovecot] Couldn't drop privileges

userdb { args = username_format=%u /etc/dovecot/users driver = passwd-file } ... Log information: ... Jan 13 16:42:44 cmreddy-Lenovo-G500s dovecot: imap(armor5): Error: user armor5: Couldn't drop privileges: User is missing GID (see mail_gid setting)
Fairly self-explanatory, isn't it? It appears your userdb does not specify GID for a user. Either define it, or ...
In share/doc/dovecot/example-config/conf.d/10-mail.conf:
# System user and group used to access mails. If you use multiple, userdb
# can override these by returning uid or gid fields. You can use either numbers
# or names. <doc/wiki/UserIds.txt>
#mail_uid =... if all your users share the the same GID, set it here.
