IIUC, you are saying that fetchmail can act as an IMAP server to the LAN. no, the same server you have fetchmail running on can also run an imap server using postfix or sendmail for example. easy imap daemon : uw-imap - it comes standard with most linux distros now, but it's not meant for heavy usage (production). For a home email box, this should be sufficient.
better imap daemons : courier or cyrus - these not as easy to setup as uw-imap, but they are better for a heavy mail server (production). For home, they would work, but probably overkill. However, if you have the time, go for it!
Just wanted to add a comment that it also depends on what kind of mail you have set up.. Courier only works with Maildir type mail, as does a new IMAP server, BINC. The others work with mbox type mail. I believe Cyrus is included in the SuSE distro. -- Gary When it comes to the fork in the road ...... take it!
