It can.  Here is an example of IMAP-to-IMAP sync using direct calls
instead of server connections.  The remote goes through SSH.

[Repository LocalIMAP]
type = IMAP
preauthtunnel = MAIL=maildir:$HOME/Maildir /usr/lib/dovecot/imap
holdconnectionopen = yes


[Repository RemoteIMAP]
type = IMAP
remotehost = localhost          #use SSH tunnel
remoteuser = USERNAME
preauthtunnel = ssh -q REMOTEHOST 'MAIL=maildir:$HOME/Maildir
/usr/lib/dovecot/imap'
maxconnections = 3


Adjust as appropriate.
