What Dovecot version? The error message means that Dovecot's login_dir
(/var/run/dovecot/login) was cleaned. A few other people have been
having this problem, but I haven't yet found out any bugs in Dovecot
that would cause it. Except before v1.0.rc29 if you tried to start
Dovecot while it was already running it would do this.
