<p dir="auto">The canonical recommendation for an IMAP server is Dovecot, but if you have another one you prefer, anything reasonably POSIX-compliant should work.</p>
<p dir="auto">A tool I like a lot is EMailchemy: <a href="https://weirdkid.com" style="color: #777777;">https://weirdkid.com</a><br>
It includes a read-only IMAP server if you want that. Also can massage a message store into all sorts of formats. Some years back, I used it to convert 20+ years of Eudora archives into a format that MM could import, and did so into a dummy account which has bogus server settings and is permanently offline. It's a de facto local folder.</p>
<p dir="auto">(But I also run my own Dovecot server for personal recent mail.)</p>
