You are using pam for authentication. Are your users only 'mail users'?
When your users are only 'mail users' throw one of them out of
/etc/passwd.
In the next step create an additional passwd like file? and add the
previously dropped user.
Finally configure multiple authentication databases? in your dovecot.conf
