Setting up IMAP with POP accounts attached


I have several POP mail accounts which I today download to my laptop with my email client. Because the email that I receive is very important, I now want to store it in a safer place than on my laptop.

I believe it should be possible to setup my *nix box with IMAP and then have IMAP downloading and storing mail from the POP accounts in a single IMAP account. Then all the email that I receive should be accessible from different computers.

So, my question is: How is this done? Is there somebody out there who has successfully completed what I am describing here? I would be very thankful if I could have some information on this issue.

Have you had a look at fetchmail? It can download from a POP server and deliver to your local server. I haven't checked whether it exactly fits your scenario, but I've used it to download from my ISP and deliver to my Linux box (which runs an IMAP server).
