BTW, just thought it a bit longer...

The perdition-proxy would be setup with
(&(!(mailHost=this-server-name))(mail=email at addy)) and as default-server
127.0.0.1, and the real IMAP-server would do the lookup for the
mailbox-path/etc. like it would normally (possible including:
mailHost=this-server-name).
