Thank you for your help here.

Well, the strange thing is, I'm getting logs like this for every user I 
have. Some of which arent even on-line at the time of the logs. The rid 
is the same as the lid which is weird as it's on the same server as 
dovecot.  I have SquirrelMail installed on this server as well.  Could 
that be the source of this?
