The reason for using debian etch and dovecot 1.0 is the hardware:
it's running on a Fritzbox-Router, and there is actual a littlebit
trouble with lenny (often crashing, reboots of the whole box etc.)
Though I don't anticipate this will solve your prime issue, we were
able to (still) somewhat update Dovecot on a Debian Etch box using the
Archive at Debian; we used these:
http://archive.debian.org/debian-backports/pool/main/d/dovecot/dovecot-common_1.0.15-2.3+lenny1~bpo40+1_i386.deb
http://archive.debian.org/debian-backports/pool/main/d/dovecot/dovecot-imapd_1.0.15-2.3+lenny1~bpo40+1_i386.deb
Apparently, the backports repository can still be used (no updates):
Debian Backports "Today the Backports for Debian Etch got removed
from the backports.debian.org archive. Should you really still need
them, the backports are still available from
http://archive.debian.org/debian-backports [1] but we recommend
everybody to upgrade from Etch with backports to Lenny (with
backports) now, as there is no security support anymore for Etch."
