[ale] email/IMAP local user

[Paul Cartwright]

ok, I'm an idiot.. Every time I try to mess with email, I end up breaking it.
right now, what I have is my domain email, which is hosted by AMScomputers. I 
use fetchmail to bring it all in to /var/mail/local_user_name and pull it in 
using kmail, via a local user.

my wife has a laptop and I'd like to be able to let her get her email on the 
laptop, so she will leave my desktop debian box ALONE:)
what do I need to do to setup IMAP, so she can get her email on the Debian 
Desktop via kmail and then fire up the laptop to do something, and have 
access to that email store..

right now I believe I am using exim4:
ii  exim4                                                   4.69-9

ii  sa-exim                                                 4.2.1-11
