I guess you're using Linux? This should work if you change Dovecot's
sources a bit:

src/lib/process-title.c:

/* NOTE: This really is a horrible hack, I don't recommend using it for
   anything else than debugging. */
/*#define LINUX_PROCTITLE_HACK*/

Then you'll see "imap-login [IP]" for connected processes.
