I had the same problem when going from 1.0alpha3 to 1.0alpha4.

Fix for me was to remove:

userdb passdb {}

from dovecot.conf.

I found the problem. I hashed the line 'userdb passdb {' so it looks like this now

# vpopmail userdb vpopmail { }

# "passdb" 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. # http://wiki.dovecot.org/AuthSpecials ## userdb passdb { ## }

The upgrade script probably defunct the original dovecot.conf. I'll post this to the maintainer.
