The canonical recommendation for an IMAP server is Dovecot, but if you 
have another one you prefer, anything reasonably POSIX-compliant should 
work.

A tool I like a lot is EMailchemy: https://weirdkid.com
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.

(But I also run my own Dovecot server for personal recent mail.)
