[MlMt] Want a simple IMAP server to run locally... every proposed method is too complicated for my little brain... any help out there?

[Richard I Cook MD]

This is a sort of last gasp.

I need to have offline mail storage. It's essential.

I like MailMate for many reasons, none of which offset the requirement 
for offline mail storage.

It seems that I need a local IMAP server. It need not communicate with 
the outside world, just work inside my own user space. The _only_ use of 
this server will be to provide MailMate with a way to 'see' the offline 
mail.

I have purchased Emailchemy which claims to have an IMAP server but the 
app implements only a tiny fraction of the server functions. It's a good 
app for reading old mail but it's functionality stops there.

I have tried to get dovecot running both from the dovecot website and 
MacPorts. [Oh, easy for 
Leonardo!](http://hellopoetry.com/poem/101/a-childs-christmas-in-wales/)

Does anyone have a canned approach that works out-of-the-box (i.e. 
without extensive modifications to .conf files and all that stuff?)
