Strange -- my version (2.3.10) dumps headers to stdout, not stderr

        # doveadm -f table fetch -u $user guid mailbox INBOX 2>/dev/null | cat 
-n | head -3
        1  guid
        2  8104226179c70d7cc248c9924cabdb8c

From a strictly design point of view, this seems more correct as the
header is part of the data, not "out of band" output like errors.  If headers
are pumped to stderr, you can always employ shell hacks (as a followup poster
did) to unify them to stdout

        # doveadm -f table fetch ... 2>&1

Maybe it's better to add another formatter to avoid tricky parsing
or shell hacks e.g.

        # doveadm -f tab-nohdr ...
