I have a colleague who analysed the Mail Pilot IMAP conversation and managed to hand-craft his Dovecot IMAP folders just right so that the app worked with his VPS. IIRC it was a problem with the app being really picky about IMAP namespaces.
The same problem meant that the app didn't work with Fastmail, but despite having been informed of the bug the Mail Pilot team blamed Fastmail and 'non-compliant IMAP implementations'.
The Fastmail response was a classic: show us where the bug is in our implementation and we'll fix it in a week. There was no response.
