I use dovecot as a real IMAP server.  My mbsync config looks like
this.  It's a little obfuscated by my hack that keeps my IMAP
password out of it.

  https://gist.github.com/drewr/c6e213f0b7ccd712e136

mbsync syncs Gmail IMAP <-> dovecot IMAP and nnimap connects to
dovecot for the different users.  I set up userdb authentication 
in
dovecot to link to different directories in ~/Mail depending on 
who
connects.

  userdb {
    driver = static
    args = uid=1000 gid=1000 home=/home/aar/Mail/dovecot/%n
  }

The maildir approach, however, sounds nice.  Not having to 
maintain a
dovecot instance and bear the cost of Gnus reconnecting to it
periodically is attractive.
