Thanks for you reply.

Don't have any restrictive wrappers.

I have this in my dovecot.conf:
listen = *

Log file with extended logging looks like this:
dovecot: May 02 13:34:28 Info: auth(default): master out: USER  98      
info at XXX.org    uid=1105        gid=6   
home=/home/cnbya/imap/kwaliteitinpraktijk.org/info
With many lines similar to this one, and nothing else really.

I can't pinpoint the problem :(
