(I don't use IMAP (I use POP3), but I assume that if I were using IMAP as
described, I could save emails on my local device, but I'm not clear on that
mechanism / storage method.)

The IMAP protocal and the backend storage have no connection.
You can for example use mbox with Dovecot just fine. (Not that anyone
would *want* to, but that is a different story.)

I believe in learning by doing, so I posted an example that one can
actually do. However, private emails show that it's caused a little
confusion. To make it as easy as I could, I wrote the example using
the information posted by the OP, and using the OP's own placeholder,
SECRET, as the password.
