I have lived the same problem in my system. But not evrytime sometimes it only happens when i restart dovecot while mta is working. I think postfix (my mta) cannot connect the new authentication socket. If i need the restarting dovecot, i restart postfix too. It happens only for the above situation. Best regards

FWIW, the owner/group for login dir (/var/run/dovecot) is > dovecot:dovecot, perm 755, while /var/run/dovecot/login is root:dovecot, The error message means that /var/run/dovecot/login directory or its contents was deleted while Dovecot was running. I'd guess that you start Dovecot too early and after startup another script goes and deletes the entire /var/run/ directory. Or maybe that's done in background. Or something..
