Whats the easy'est way to mod the source to allow the statis uid and or gid or of the users be root ?
PS. I do wish this was an admin set-able option in the dovecot.conf

I thought the only thing stopping this (apart from good sense) is the minimum UID setting in the config file?
Honestly, why do you want it to be root? It's NOT a good idea, even though Dovecot has so far shown to be very secure.

It's better to forward roots mail to another account. You really shouldn't do anything as root unless you have to.
You can change this in the source, but I think it's a good idea to hard code it so that you can't log in as root. It's easy enough to redirect roots email.
