What in the blue blazes is dovecot.socket for? That sounds like
something I'd use to have systemd start dovecot dynamically
when someone tries to access the port.

It is disabled on my system. It has always been disabled.
systemctl status says it is inactive.

I'd expect to get the error about the port being in use
if I enabled it because then systemd would indeed be
listening on the ports dovecot wants to listen on.
