dovecot/FreeBSD and Android IMAP clients

[Aki Tuomi]

You can try doing this:

protocol imap {

  rawlog_dir = %h/rawlogs

}

then make directory under user's homedir called rawlogs and chmod 0777 it.

Then try, you should end up with lots of files that are full of chatter
between the client & server, maybe it gives you more indication what
goes wrong.
