I have several computers at home, some of which are dual boot. I want to use
courier-imap on a server at my house so that I can always access all of my
mail, no matter which computer or OS I am using.

Currently, I use fetchmail to get my email from my ISP. Fetchmail passes the
mail to procmail, which uses a few rules and spamassasin to sort the mail
into folders. I use exim, but I am afraid I am a bit fuzzy as to
its role in delivering incoming mail. Does procmail pass the mail to exim,
or does procmail deliver the mail it sorts?

If I add courier-imap to the above system, I am not sure what changes I need
to make. I think that fetchmail would stay the same. I think that I need to
change my procmailrc to send the mail to ~/Maildir instead of the folders
under ~/mail (mbox) that I am currently using? And I know that exim.conf
needs to be changed, but I am not sure of all of the changes.

Can anyone point me to a guide or article that explains what one must do to
setup a simple imap system?

Thanks for any help.
