dovecot.conf is only read by dovecot binary, so it's not used if you 
run imap binary directly. But instead of doing that, you could run:

dovecot --exec-mail imap

which reads dovecot.conf and executes imap binary. Mostly useful just 
so that you don't have to try to figure out what environment variables 
to use for what settings.
