[VM] Newbie emacs/imap question

[blueman]

Can someone point me to the right method and/or documentation for doing
the following (if it is even possible)?

I have been using VM to read my email directly from the local email
server for more than 25 years now, so that I have a rich heirarchy of
folders containing filed mail plus my Inbox that collects new email.

I would now like to read my email remotely on a droid smartphone. In the
past I used ssh to log in to my server and read it in a text emacs
terminal running remotely, but this sort of loses all the advantages of
a smartphone graphical interface plus it's relatively slow and the fonts
are ridiculously tiny. I also used to use pop to just pop a copy of new
mail but this didn't allow me to access old filed emails or nor did it make
it easy to synchronize deletions or movements to folders.

So, instead I was wondering whether it is possible to let my home server
function as an imap server that gets email from my Inbox and all the
stored associated vm folders so that I can then read/move/delete all my
past and current emails remotely over my android phone via
Imap. Ideally, I would like to do this without messing (too much) with
any of my existing vm folders.

>From what I have seen, most of the vm-imap documentation seems to be the
reverse setup where people want to use vm/imap as a client to read their
google email from a google (or other remote) server. Instead, I want to
use a remote non-vm mail reader to read my vm mail remotely from my
droid.

I would be grateful if someone could tell me if this is at all possible
and if so point me in the right direction...

Thanks!
