The file is now being recreated for each user that logs in. Ideally  
you should find a way to get it written only for the one user that has  
the problem and then reproduce the error only once so that you know  
exactly what operations were in the log file. So perhaps something like:

mail_executable = /tmp/imap.sh

and imap.sh contains:

#!/bin/sh

if [ $USER = problemuser ]; then
   exec strace -o /tmp/dovecot.log.$$.`date +%s` /usr/local/libexec/ 
dovecot/imap
else
   exec /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap
fi
