Topic: Dovecot Storage Proxied to DBMail

==== Required information ====
- iRedMail version (check /etc/iredmail-release): 0.9.6
- Linux/BSD distribution name and version: Ubuntu 16.04
- Store mail accounts in which backend (LDAP/MySQL/PGSQL): MySQL
- Web server (Apache or Nginx): Nginx
- Manage mail accounts with iRedAdmin-Pro? Yes
- [IMPORTANT] Related original log or error message is required if you're experiencing an issue.
====

I'm looking for a way to integrate DBMail as a storage backend by using dovecot as a proxy.
https://wiki2.dovecot.org/MailboxFormat/imapc looks promising minus replicating the user tables.
There is the option to create an imapc_master_user but I've failed to find documentation on how do use that alongside of DBMail.
Can I use DBMail with Dovecot as installed by iRedMail and what would that look like?

imapc should work with normal IMAP servers, i GUESS DBMail should work too, but i didn't test it myself.
Good luck.

What would that look like. Perhaps any security code concerns for a master user?

I'd like to report back with a guide.
