you don't have to use imap -> imap sync, IIRC dovecot uses maildir as
storage, so you can sync the maildirs, and access you local maildir
through a local dovecot.

Apparently the good thing is that you don't have to set it up at all:
just disable it (as a server process) and access it through a pipe in
gnus. Example:

Yes, with dovecot you keep all that, it just help to interface your
maildirs with gnus. Here is another (dated) example to integrate all
these:
