Or like this:

(nnimap "Maildir"
        (nnimap-stream shell)
        (nnimap-shell-program "/usr/local/opt/dovecot/libexec/dovecot/imap -o mail_location=maildir:$HOME/Maildir")))

If you do it like this, it is not necessary to run the imap server
daemon - no worries about security. And if I am correc=ct, you don't
need to configure dovecot with the conf file, as you specify the
parameters in the commandline.
