I am a little confused now. You are running a local Dovecot? (on your machine or on a local server?). If that is so then set your select method to talk to that using nnimap. You then also don't need nnmairix. You can use dovecot's own indexing via nnir. You saying "imap without running a server" is the bit that throws me. regards r.
