I think that's already possible in lei. So it comes down to who runs
the IMAP server and where. If localhost works for you, then it should
just be a matter of configuring lei. Though I've not tried any of this
part of lei myself.

And I think there's folks that just want mail delivered to their inbox
with SMTP regardless of what lore/b4/lei can do.
