I'm still using this setup! You didn't say what was going wrong, but
here's a sample config block for one of my IMAP accounts:
IMAPAccount ea
Host mail.ericabrahamsen.net
User eric@ericabrahamsen.net
PassCmd "/usr/bin/pass email/ea"
SSLType STARTTLS
Port 143
IMAPStore ea-ro
Account ea
IMAPAccount local-ea-dovecot
SSLType None
Host localhost
User eric-local@ericabrahamsen.net
Pass <boguspassword>
AuthMechs LOGIN
IMAPStore ea-daemon-local
Account local-ea-dovecot
Channel ea
Master :ea-ro:
Slave :ea-daemon-local:
