UPGRADE! Dovecot < 2.x is no longer supported.

In the Dovecot v2.0 tree there was the following commit:

	changeset:   9123:edcafb3efbbf
	branch:      HEAD
	user:        Timo Sirainen <tss at iki.fi>
	date:        Thu Apr 16 19:14:23 2009 -0400
	summary:     Added imap_idle_notify_interval setting.

Some time later in the v2.1 tree there was fix:

	changeset:   14197:32ffa616f249
	user:        Timo Sirainen <tss at iki.fi>
	date:        Sat Feb 25 07:29:15 2012 +0200
	summary:     imap-login: imap_id_* settings were ignored pre-login.

So, if you would use Dovecot v2.1.x you would be able to log some
information about the connected client. BUT not all mail clients are
supporting RFC2971 [http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2971].

The settings for this feature are configured in conf.d/20-imap.conf:

	* imap_id_log
	* imap_id_send

That depends on the used software, see above
