Are you thinking about actual "dummy" proxying (which is normally what Dovecot proxying is about) or about the "imapc" backend (http://www.dovecot.fi/products/105-dovecot-imap-adaptor.html)? If you're using Dovecot as backend servers, there's really no reason to use imapc proxying.

Dovecot doesn't support the full LEMONADE yet, but I don't know if there are any LEMONADE clients either.
