Below I've outlined what I'd like to do, but I'm not sure if SquirrelMail
will do this. I easily installed apache and SquirrelMail, but I haven't
installed an IMAP yet.

Here's what I do now:

- run fetchmail to grab mail from a few different mail servers for deposit
  locally for a few different users.
- some local users running Windows/Netscape get their mail from my
  machine; I run qpopper for this.
- For one of the users (me) procmail sorts the mail into various mail
  files.
- I read my mail with pine, usually.

When I'm away from home, I want to access my mail remotely, using web
access. People seem to like SquirrelMail. I have apache and SM installed,
but that's as far as I've gone.

I can't figure out if SquirrelMail will use the existing mail folders that
pine sees or not. I don't want SquirrelMail to fetch mail from anywhere to
move anywhere else.

I don't understand if IMAPs role is simply to serve up the mail to the
remote client and allow deleting, moving to other folders, etc, or if it
will want to replace my existing steps of fetchmail/procmail.

Which IMAP package should I use?
