Thanks for your reply!

But I think you misread that, not a single parameter is set to /usr/local/var. 
The installation prefix (configure --prefix) is set to /usr/local but the 
local state directory, which is supposed to be /var is really set to /var 
(this is also the default when running configure). The configuration also 
specified that Dovecot run out of /var/run/dovecot (base_dir).

So naturally I had no idea where Dovecot would take that /usr/local prefix to 
the /var directory, and I really still don't.
