   FWIW GNU Mailutils comes with an IMAP server too, which I use for   
   about the same purpose as what you seem to be doing. It seemed like   
   a good idea but in practice I rarely use it and read the mailbox   
   movemail writes to directly with an email client instead.   
      
   Something like this in /etc/mailutils.conf configures it:   
   "   
   program imap4d   
   {   
      
   logging   
   {   
     syslog yes;   
     facility mail;   
     severity debug;   
   };   
      
   #debug {   
   #  level auth;   
   #};   
      
   auth   
   {   
     authentication generic;   
     authorization system;   
   };   
      
   login-disabled false;   
   homedir   
   {   
     create false;   
   }   
      
   mailbox   
   {   
      mailbox-type "mh";   
      folder "Mail/";   
   };   
      
   namespace personal   
   {   
     mailbox-mode g=;   
     prefix ""   
     {   
       directory "$home/Mail";   
       mailbox-type "mh";   
     };   
   };   
      
   };   
   "   
      
   You need a "mail" group and add users who can log via IMAP to that   
   group.   
      
   I've configured Dovecot before too but I find it difficult, so   
   you'd better get advice on that from one of the people who says   
   it's easy.
