Error: istream-seekable: safe_mkstemp(/tmp/dovecot.imap.) failed
I'm seeing these recently:

You don't have a /tmp directory or imap is chrooted somewhere where there is no /tmp?..

No and no :) However the error message magically disappeared with newer builds. I'm not seeing it since Sunday...

Finally got down to the issue. The messages occur if the systemd-*service temporary directory gets deleted inside /tmp
$l -d systemd* drwx------ 3 root root 60 Sep 5 09:29 systemd-private-37bbda70211940c593ef885fdfc1a1dc-dovecot.service-II7xjd
Case solved.
