Yes. There's almost zero performance benefit for accessing mails via lib-storage than just accessing via IMAP. Also Dovecot's lib-storage API changes every time minor version changes, so you'd have to keep updating your code once in a while. (For v2.1 API I'm hoping to add support for async calls and using UTF-8 mailbox names everywhere.)
