I have a server with dovecot installed with imap and tls working (call that the remote server). Now I want to have a few computers at the same place to access the same account on the remote server. I have another server (call this the local server) at the local site to do this with but am not sure how to do it. The proxy setup http://wiki.dovecot.org/PasswordDatabase/ExtraFields/Proxy looks about right but that does not seem to support tls? I need tls going from the local server to the remote server. I want all emails on the remote server to be the same as on the local server. This way all clients at the local site have very fast access to email and can still get to the email when not at the local site.

This is a little different from what you're doing, but let me tell you how I do the above: I run offlineimap on the "local server", and it syncs the changes to and from the "remote server".
