Not to take this thread too far from the well-beaten org-mode path, but
I'd like to add that if you don't want to run dovecot as a daemon, you
can invoke it as a process from both gnus and offlineimap. This
simplifies setting up the dovecot.conf file considerably.

Here are the relevant lines from my .offlineimaprc:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
[Repository Local]
type = IMAP 
preauthtunnel = /usr/sbin/dovecot -c ~/config/mail/dovecot.conf --exec-mail imap
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

...and my .gnus:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(setq imap-shell-program "dovecot -c ~/config/mail/dovecot.conf --exec-mail 
imap")

(setq gnus-secondary-select-methods
        '(
          (nnimap "fm"
                  (nnimap-stream shell))
                  ;; [snip] more methods here
                  ))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Best,
Matt
