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

Well, you can just use fetchmail to get your mail from some other
source, but domain names only cost $8/year or so - not a big deal.
There are a billion mail redirection services who will simply forward
mail for that domain to an address that you specify, which you can then
fetch into your IMAP store.  Or, if you have a static IP or set up
dynamic DNS you can run your own mail server.

Sure, not internet 101, but you can scale the approach to your desired
level of sophistication and still have the benefits of an IMAP folder store.
