I'd go for that option if it does. If we're talking about dovecot as the IMAP server in question, then, yes, it can connect to a wide variety of databases for it's authentication data. It can also read from an arbitrary passwd(7) format file -- not the same as the system passwd file. On the scale the OP is working with, personally I'd not create 6000 unix user accounts on the IMAP server: rather create a single account to own all of the imap Maildirs and use a separate database of Mail user accounts. This and other configuration patterns are discussed in detail on the Dovecot wiki as I recall.
