Hi Magnus,
I had to install a second mailserver and managed to get things to work on that server and after that on the first server. I did a number things different and didn't care to isolate the cause.
I'll tell you the differences I made to get things to work. I now use LDA cvs snapshot from 13 may and dovecot-1.0beta8 So try that combination. I also made differences to dovecot.conf. Check you have your sections right defined. I use all settings from the wiki LDA page. I have config files attached as an example for you.

# If you need to set multiple mailbox locations or want to change default # namespace settings, you can do it by defining namespace sections: # # You can have private, shared and public namespaces.

Default namespace is simply done by having a # namespace with empty prefix. #namespace private { # Hierarchy separator to use. You should use the same separator for all # namespaces or some clients get confused. '/' is usually a good one. # separator = /

# If namespace is hidden, it's not advertised to clients via NAMESPACE # extension or shown in LIST replies.

# "prefetch" user database means that the passdb already provided the # needed information and there's no need to do a separate userdb lookup. # This can be made to work with SQL and LDAP databases, see their example # configuration files for more information how to do it. # http://wiki.dovecot.org/AuthSpecials #userdb prefetch { #}
# User to use for the process. This user needs access to only user and # password databases, nothing else. Only shadow and pam authentication # requires roots, so use something else if possible. Note that passwd # authentication with BSDs internally accesses shadow files, which also # requires roots. Note that this user is NOT used to access mails. # That user is specified by userdb above. user = root
# Directory where to chroot the process. Most authentication backends don't # work if this is set, and there's no point chrooting if auth_user is root. # Note that valid_chroot_dirs isn't needed to use this setting. #chroot =

# It's possible to export the authentication interface to other programs, # for example SMTP server which supports talking to Dovecot. Client socket # handles the actual authentication - you give it a username and password # and it returns OK or failure. So it's pretty safe to allow anyone access to # it. Master socket is used to a) query if given client was successfully # authenticated, b) userdb lookups.
# listener sockets will be created by Dovecot's master process using the # settings given inside the auth section #auth default_with_listener { # mechanisms = plain # passdb pam { # } # userdb passwd { # } # socket listen { # master { # path = /var/run/dovecot-auth-master # # WARNING: Giving untrusted users access to master socket may be a # # security risk, don't give too wide permissions to it! # #mode = 0600 # # Default user/group is the one who started dovecot-auth (root) # #user = # #group = # } # client { # path = /var/run/dovecot-auth-client # mode = 0660 # } # } #}
# connect sockets are assumed to be already running, Dovecot's master # process only tries to connect to them. They don't need any other settings # than path for the master socket, as the configuration is done elsewhere. # Note that the client sockets must exist in login_dir. #auth external { # socket connect { # master { # path = /var/run/dovecot-auth-master # } # } #}
