Evolution allows me to configure a so-called "IMAP command" that is called instead of making a connection to localhost:143 and provides an already authenticated IMAP connection on stdin/out. I've been using a small script that exports a few environment variables and then exec's /usr/lib/dovecot/imap to do exactly this -- no network involved and the best thing is that I don't even need to enter a password for local access.
Hmm - what environment variables is that? Could you maybe provide the script?
I want to connect directly to dovecot from offlineimap through an SSH tunnel (to avoid storing passwords in cleartext on my laptop), but have failed so far.
