An alternative would be looking into the dovecot logs, but those are 
neceassrily time bound.
So either keep very large amounts of logs, or store just the login info 
(much shorter) in the
db.

These days you can also replace last-login with mail-lua script, which can do
lot more than just try to set a dict. But last-login rather useful information
when you are debugging, or removing dormant accounts. And other customer support
incidents.
