Ah, I see. So I can use it to proxy a request that comes in to

functionality I want?
You need nginx IMAP/POP3 proxy only if
1) you have several IMAP/POP3 backends,
2) you need the single enter point, say, mail.domain.com,
3) and you have a LOT of IMAP/POP3 accounts (e.g. as
fastmail.fm: http://blog.fastmail.fm/?p=592 )

nginx can proxy/load balance IMAP/POP3, but it is not a server. There
is an example of this on the wiki.

It doesn't sound like this is what you need though. You need another
software package entirely if you want to serve IMAP or POP3.
So, only if I'm using more than one IMAP/POP3 servers, or more than one
domain?
