You userdb seems to be incomplete.
,--[ http://wiki2.dovecot.org/UserDatabase ]--

| The user database lookup returns these fields:

| * uid …
| * gid …
| * home …
| * mail …
| …

See the last example in
<http://wiki2.dovecot.org/AuthDatabase/PasswdFile>. The password line
for user armor5 would be:
armor5:{plain}abc123:1001:1001::/home/armor5
`mail' can be left blank, since you've configured mail_location.
