Dovecot actually does start, you just need to set up a few things first:
A proper conf file tree, and any file or directory referenced by that
file tree, must needs be exist, and be populated appropriately.
To get the dovecot service online w/o complaint (mind you, it still
won't do anything useful) you could
#!/bin/sh/of/yer/choice
pfexec mkdir -p /etc/ssl/certs
pfexec mkdir /etc/ssl/private
cd /usr/share/doc/dovecot/example-config
pfexec cp -p -R conf.d/ dovecot.conf /etc/dovecot/
# doublecheck that the file dovecot.conf and the directory conf.d are
actually there
# in /etc/dovecot at this point
# If they are, do:
echo "type return to continue"
read
pfexec sh mkcert.sh
pfexec svcadm enable dovecot
# running
svcs -x dovecot
# should now show dovecot to be online. Look in the log file indicated
# in the svcs -x report, otherwise
# The next reasonable step is
pfexec svcadm disable dovecot
# and read all the docs and look around the internet for a good HOWTO
for the combination of
# dovecot and postfix (or sendmail or exim or something) and some
mailstore and
# userauthorisation method and configure the whole thing.
# I don't (yet) think openindiana->dovecot is dysfunctional, it's just
very undocumented.

I have not tried Webmin, but I would like to share a poor experience
with some OI packages.
Dovecot service refuses to start after install, falls into maintenance
mode. I had to install Dovecot from OpenCSW.
Seems like OI project is lacking manpower, and I understand why Alasdair
has resigned:(
