[Dovecot] Errors in /var/log/maillog and /var/log/dovecot.log

[Li Cai]

There was not any auth failure or err messages in secure log related to
imaps being logged.
But the dovecot.log does have more detailed info:

"
Jan 14 09:18:42 Info: imap-login: Internal login failure: user=<user1>,
method=PLAIN, rip=X.X.X.X, lip=X.X.X.X, TLS
Jan 14 09:19:03 Info: auth(default): client in: AUTH    1       PLAIN
service=IMAP    secured lip=X.X.X.X  rip=X.X.X.Xresp=AGJicm9vbQBlZTBuQHJkMA==
Jan 14 09:19:05 Info: auth(default): pam(user1,X.X.X.X): pam_authenticate()
