you could use "doveadm mailbox list" to build the list of folders and
"doveadm search" to search each folder for appropriate IMAP flags
https://wiki2.dovecot.org/Tools/Doveadm/SearchQuery

e.g.
doveadm mailbox list -u username | sort
doveadm search -u username mailbox foldername UNSEEN
(or NEW instead of UNSEEN)
