How hard would
it be to setup an imap server on this machine, that
uses the existing email corpus database, /home/gene/Mail, and serves
it to any other kmail agents running on my local network?
I am using devecot imap on the server at home and access the mailbox
on that server from multiple clients. There is nothing special for
that.
You have to tell dovecot where your mail is and in which format.
usually I would configure the server side mailbox aside from the home
directory.
You could use imap to copy your local mailbox data to the server dir
after you set it up once.
This is in /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-mail.conf
you can use anything like fetchmail to get mails to the mailbox and
serve it to all clients. If you have any other pop3 accounts. This is
what I would do. Thus you collect your mails in one mailbox and access
them via imap by any client.
I also had my mailbox set in the user home years ago and this was I
guess by default set by Kmail, but turned to be misleading.
However the flexibility of all this is so big that there is surely a
way to get what you want or get it really wrong.
I hope this helps
