[Dovecot] How to exec /usr/libexec/dovecot/imap with specific maildir location

[David Woodhouse]

Once upon a time I could configure my mailer to access my historical
archives by running something like

 ssh $mailserver MAIL=maildir:~/Maildir-archive dovecot --exec-mail imap

I need to run /usr/libexec/dovecot/imap manually now, and I've fixed
that a while ago for my normal email access. But I've just had cause to
go back to my archives for the first time in a while... and realised
that I don't know how to make it work any more.

When invoking /usr/libexec/dovecot/imap, is there an environment
variable or command line option which can set the mail location?
