Have you considered fetching from dovecot (maildir) to mbox file and
learning from mbox file?
a) fetchmail CAN use .../dovecot/imap wrapper script in "plugin" option
   to read maildir directly  [set environment variable MAIL to
   maildir:~/Maildir in the wrapper]
b) fetchmail CAN use procmail in "mda" option to deliver directly to mbox
