There is a "rawlog" feature, which writes down the hole decrypted imap session in files.

...
service imap {
	...
	executable = imap postlogin
...
}

...

service postlogin {
   executable = script-login -d rawlog
   unix_listener postlogin {
   }
}
...

This should write *.in an *.out files to "$mail_location/dovecot.rawlog/" directory for each imap session.
The directory should be writeable by the dovecot user. I tested this some years ago, so I'm not shure if the configuration
is still valid.
