Are you running auditd? I believe that if you're not running auditd, the
denials should be logged to the kernel ring buffer. Does "dmesg" show
any denials ?

Likely dovecot doesn't have access user_home_dir_t/user_home_t. Is all
users maildirs below /home/user/data1/Maildir/ ? If so, you can probably
fix this by creating a labeling rule for this, and re-label everything
below this directory:

	semanage fcontext -a -t mail_spool_t "/home/user/data1/Maildir(/.*)?"
	restorecon -R /home/user/data1/Maildir
