[Dovecot] How to log POP3 events

[Chris Wakelin]

You need to change more than that! See the Wiki for details

http://wiki.dovecot.org/moin.cgi/UpgradingDovecot

In particular, the syntax for authdb and passwd has changed, so start
with dovecot-example.conf as it suggests and make the equivalent changes
to those you made for 0.99.x
