Don't call me a liar, you are just too dumb to understand.

No the point is, you are not setting a file path, you are configure dovecot
to directly write to these files.
And dovecot is not just one process, there are multiple running as
different users all trying t write into one file. Race conditions are
to be expected. Because these options exist does not mean it is a good
decision to use them.
And because you clearly don't understand what you are doing, do as being told.
Configure syslog or rsyslog to use that file path.
