sorry you questioned very complex, try to
ask more simple

there are many tools which may help you

bcc_copy with postfix
imapsync
rsync
dsync
getmail

you may use filters too
like sieve, maildrop , procmail etc

at the end that should solve nearly all what you might goal

its not that much a dovecot question, it more depends
if you find that general layout which fits best to your ideas

however there is no magical imap/pop3 server more flexibel
to configure then dovecot, if your ideas dont work with it, your ideas
are broken
