Sounds like a permissions problem.  Dovecot starts as root, and then
drops to a non-privileged user.  That user probably doesn't have
access to the working directory, or its parent dir.

I am trying to implement dovecot for use as an imap server with postfix and

shell-init: error retrieving current directory: getcwd: cannot access parent
directories: No such file or directory

Any ideas what this means?
