You would need to set up notmuch to point to dovecot's directory where
the mail is being stored (~/.mail in my shell provider's setup,
apparently). In Gnus, you must also customize
`nnir-notmuch-remove-prefix' to the same directory. Also, notmuch must
be using one of the backends that adhreres to a "one-message, one-file"
paradigm (notmuch is not compatible with mbox, for example, but dovecot
is).
