I am using that in Gnus:

#v+
(setq gnus-select-method
      ;; Primary server: dovecot
      `(nnimap ""
               (nnimap-stream shell)
               (nnimap-shell-program "/usr/lib/dovecot/imap -o mail_location=maildir:~/.mbsync/mails/luffy")
               (nnir-search-engine imap)))
#v-

IMAP server is feeded through isync/mbsync. So, UUID or whatever IMAP
uses to identify messages may be off-sync. This never was a problem
before.
