dovecot - Apr 2013 - dovecot stats

I just upgraded one of our servers to dovecot v2.1.16 (ee), and am looking
into the stats feature. Am I interpreting the wiki correct in reading that
the "doveadm stats dump command" only returns statistics about IMAP
commands?

Is it possible to collect info about POP3 and LMTP commands also ?

Also, is "doveadm stats dump command" telling me the results of all
commands that has finished the last stats_command_min_time, or will it
maybe contain much more than 1 minute of activity ?

Right.

No. I think they would be pretty boring statistics, since with POP3 pretty much
everything causing disk I/O or CPU usage would be RETRs and with LMTP everything
would be DATAs.

It can contain much more. The stats process will keep as much data in memory as
possible until it reaches the stats_memory_limit. The doveadm stats dump lists
everything that the stats process knows.
