Thanks for the hint.

I enabled 'socket listen' it in dovecot.conf as you pointed it out.

Now dovecot.err log has these error messages:

May 04 14:57:19 deliver(user1@some_domain.com): Error: User user1@some_domain.com is missing UID (set mail_uid) May 04 14:57:19 deliver(user2@some_domain.com): Error: User user2@some_domain.com is missing UID (set mail_uid) May 04 14:57:25 deliver(user3@some_domain.com): Error: User user3@some_domain.com is missing UID (set mail_uid)

I tried to set necessary mail_uid in dovecot-sql.conf in user_query:

user_query = SELECT maildir as mail, 51 as userdb_uid, 51 as userdb_gid, 51 as mail_uid FROM dovecot_email_maps WHERE email = '%u'
