dovecot administration?

Good Morning,
I'm wondering what tools you are all using to admin dovecot mailboxes?
The dovecot support forums show a command line tool called doveadm but it's not installed in OS X.
When we were all still using Cyrus there was a great tool calld Cyradmin.

You guys know of any comparable tool for Dovecot?

Thanks,
-dave

I've been in touch with Apple Engineers and thought I'd share so we can mark this as answered even though it's a bit of a crappy answer:

There are currently no admin tools for Apple's implementation of Dovecot. (dovecot1.1.20apple5). There is a command line tool called doveadm but it is not available until Dovecot 2.0 and currently apple has no plans to move from their current version of Dovecot.

According to Engineering, the GUI in ServerAdmin is sufficient for all of our mail administration needs.
