Thanks for that. A more specific question: is there a way to have 
imap/pop-login processes log the PID of the child imap/pop process? This 
would be for the purpose of connecting a specific authentication with its 
own session activity in the case of multiple logins by a single user.

No, that information doesn't get transferred. And imap-login actually
never even knows the PID, so it would have to be done the other way:
imap would have to log imap-login's PID.

If you really want that, you could modify src/master/login-process.c
auth_master_callback(). The login process PID is in
request->process->pid. Pass it to create_mail_process() and log it there
or pass to the mail process or something.
