If you have your mail in a .maildir then it is as simple as emerging |
| 9 |
courier-imap. If not, it is still just as easy - just set up your IMAP |
| 10 |
folder which will be empty, open it from your existing mail client, and |
| 11 |
copy your folders over wholesale. |

Well, you can just use fetchmail to get your mail from some other |
| 20 |
source, but domain names only cost $8/year or so - not a big deal. |
| 21 |
There are a billion mail redirection services who will simply forward |
| 22 |
mail for that domain to an address that you specify, which you can then |
| 23 |
fetch into your IMAP store. Or, if you have a static IP or set up |
| 24 |
dynamic DNS you can run your own mail server. |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
Sure, not internet 101, but you can scale the approach to your desired |
| 27 |
level of sophistication and still have the benefits of an IMAP folder store. |
