Which email clients support SMTP/IMAP via STDIN&STDOUT of proxy command?

I would like to be able to use local and remove dovecot to access
maildir *without* running dovecot daemons.

For which OS? I know at least Evolution, mutt and pine support imap
proxy commands. No idea about SMTP.

I am interested in clients for Linux/Unix.

I think some of the above support sending via 'sendmail like' program
with option to set "path to sendmail" - it should be almost the same
except "sending batches of email messages".

For future readers reference:
  emacs+gnus can do it too.

~/.emacs :

'(gnus-secondary-select-methods (quote (
  (nnimap "" 
    (nnimap-stream shell) 
    (imap-shell-program "/usr/sbin/dovecot -c ~/.dovecot/dovecot.conf 
--exec-mail imap")))))

~/.gnus :
(setq sendmail-program "..../sendmail")

P.S.
I use "personal configuration file".
