.emacs:
(setq imap-shell-program
'("MAIL=maildir:$HOME/Mail /usr/lib/dovecot/imap"))
.gnus:
(setq gnus-parameters
'(("Mail:.*" ;"^nnimap\\+Mail:INBOX"
(gcc-self . t))))
(setq gnus-secondary-select-methods
'((nnimap "Mail" (nnimap-stream shell))))
those are the relevant parts to getting in with dovecot. there is no
dovecot running now which it was doing before and i had access to it
through .authinfo and my personal login data.

i tried that last night, but haven't gotten it to work yet though it
looks pretty straight-forward to me. i may post questions later if i'm
not successful. however, i rather like mairix as indicated in my mairix
problems post and it may be more suitable as my emails grow - just
haven't gotten that to work fully either.

ya that's the neat idea brett provided. it seems i can use imap from
dovecot without having a daemon running.
