I think it's some weird communication thing between icedove and dovecot. 
  Valgrind (memcheck) gives me this:

/usr/lib/icedove/run-mozilla.sh: line 131: 18624 Segmentation fault 
  "$prog" ${1+"$@"}

The relevant parts of the dovecot log are:

The above does not say much to me, and I cannot find a setting in 
dovecot.conf to have it be any more informative.

Thanks for the help
