<file src="~/bin/imap">
#!/bin/bash
export USER=kamil
export MAIL=maildir:~/Maildir
exec /usr/lib/dovecot/imap
</file>

<file src="~/.emacs">
'(gnus-secondary-select-methods 
  (quote (
   (nnimap "" 
    (nnimap-stream shell) 
    (imap-shell-program "/home/kamil/bin/imap")))))
</file>

To create imap folder seen by gnus as "nnimap:Sent" create maildir
folder ~/Maildir/.Sent ["/home/kamil/Maildir/.Sent/" in procmail recipes]

P.S.
I use more slightly complicated solution with my "personal" 
(per my OS account only) dovecot configuration files.
