This script is what I use -- note that you need to have it on the
server, and then call ssh to execute that script (on the server)
immediately.

#!/bin/sh
# arch-tag: dbfe44f6-0d80-40c4-948a-bac05a804bf5
 
export MAIL=/home/johannes/Maildir
export MAILBOX_CHECK_INTERVAL=60
exec /usr/lib/dovecot/imap
