Yes.  What actually are you concerned about?

I haven't used imap.  If it uses the standard mailbox format, you'll be fine.

You can test as follows:

         mkdir newdir
         bogofilter -s -d newdir < imap.spam.mbx
         bogofilter -n -d newdir < imap.good.mbx
         bogoutil -w newdir .MSG_COUNT

The first three commands you should already understand.  The fourth command 
will find .MSG_COUNT in newdir/spamlist.db and newdir/goodlist.db and print 
out its counts.  You can use bogoutil to check the counts for any tokens in 
which you are interested.
