This is a sort of last gasp.

I need to have offline mail storage. It's essential.

I like MailMate for many reasons, none of which offset the requirement for offline mail storage.

It seems that I need a local IMAP server. It need not communicate with the outside world, just work inside my own user space. The _only_ use of this server will be to provide MailMate with a way to 'see' the offline mail.

I have purchased Emailchemy which claims to have an IMAP server but the app implements only a tiny fraction of the server functions. It's a good app for reading old mail but it's functionality stops there.

I have tried to get dovecot running both from the dovecot website and MacPorts. [Oh, easy for Leonardo!](http://hellopoetry.com/poem/101/a-childs-christmas-in-wales/)

Does anyone have a canned approach that works out-of-the-box (i.e. without extensive modifications to .conf files and all that stuff?)
