Your understanding of IMAP, at least at the user level, is right on. The
only thing you perhaps need to include in your mix is that, just as the
news server itself gets postings for you to read, your IMAP server will
have to do the fetching from various POP locations and *then* you can
use IMAP to access the mails [now] on that server from anywhere.
