Huh? What in the heck are you talking about?
I run multiple IMAP clients (some on the same computer, some on
different computers) all _simultaneously_, all accessing a half-dozen
different mail accounts on different servers around the Internet.
All my MUAs access the same folders and same messages directly, and
simultaneously.
I certainly don't need yet another IMAP server and a whole bunch of
unnecessary complexity with things like fetchmail just to do this.
What I would really like to learn is why anyone would falsely believe
that they do somehow need their own IMAP server for this reason. There
must be some false conception or expectation permeating some parts of
the ether out there.
