I'd like to set up an IMAP server, but I feel I need some input on my
initial plan, and some tips on where to read... Here's what I'm thinking
about this far:

1) I've got several external POP3 accounts. I'll use fetchmail to get them
to the 'mail computer'.
2) At this computer, I'll run Courier as my IMAP server
3) I can get my mail from the imap server on this computer from any
external computers, using any mail client I'd like (or webmail, using
Couriers webmailserver)

Am I thinking right? Is there a 'missing link' between getting mail with
fetchmail and reading the mail through the imap server?

Any advice appreciated :)
