This looks good. My only comment is the script doesn't account for compressed logs.

LOG1="/var/log/dovecot.log.0.bz2"
LOG2="/var/log/dovecot.log"
bzcat $LOG1 | sed "0,/^$STARTTIME/d" > $TEMPFILE
cat $LOG2 >> $TEMPFILE 

Well, another comment, I think you meant these tow lines to read like this:

STARTDATE=$(head -n 1 $TEMPFILE | awk '{print $1 " " $2 " " $3 }')
ENDDATE=$(tail -n 1 $TEMPFILE | awk '{print $1 " " $2 " " $3 }')

Though I don't think the awk is necessary, the first 15 characters of the first and last lines contain the info you want to display.

Of course, it would begetter to handle this all transparently, but … meh.
