I will look into it.  For now I think

  $ imapfilter -l $HOME/log/imapfilter.log

... can do the job. Or not...

What do you mean by this?  Do you want imapfilter to use the users'
passwords stored in /etc/shadow?  There are no passwords stored in these
files, just an encrypted password that can be used only during
authentication.  So therefore you cannot extract (or synchronize)
passwords (well, only using brute force attack with an active password
cracking tool).
