To obtain a core dump you should enable them in /etc/defaults/dovecot
and then restart the daemon with /etc/init.d/dovecot restart

You'll find the resulting core file as  /var/run/dovecot/core

If you want to allow multiple core files try to execute something like

echo "core.%p" > /proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern

After that the core files will be named like core.<pid> until the next
reboot.

To be sure, please attach the output of dovecot -n command to the next
email.

Kind regards,
