AFAIK, this usually means that there is no process listening on that socket.

This is not sufficient, as dovecot will set the permissions of
/var/Process/dovecot/ to 700 (given that this is your login_dir). So I put
the socket into /var/spool/vmail, where the user that runs the lda has
sufficient rights.
