[Dovecot] Dovecot-2.1.14 - pop3 processes always hangs forever - a follow-up

Suspecting a problem with the "virtual" uids/gids, I've tried with a real user for the mail user:

	# 2.1.14: /_ETC/dovecot/dovecot.conf
	# OS: Darwin 12.2.1 x86_64  
	auth_verbose = yes
	disable_plaintext_auth = no
	mail_debug = yes
	mail_gid = dovemailer
	mail_location = mbox:~/mboxes:INBOX=~/mboxes/inbox
	mail_uid = dovemailer
	passdb {
	  args = /_ETC/dovecot/db.conf
	  driver = sql
	}
	ssl = no
	userdb {
	  driver = prefetch
	}

Of course, the db queries do not return uid/gid pairs anymore.

And the pop3 processes now seem to work as expected; connecting for the first time as user1:

	$ telnet 127.0.0.1 110
	Trying 127.0.0.1...
	Connected to localhost.
	Escape character is '^]'.
	+OK Dovecot ready.
	user user1
	+OK
	pass pass1
	+OK Logged in.
	list
	+OK 0 messages:
	.
	quit
	+OK Logging out.
	Connection closed by foreign host.

Hmmm...
