Ah, I see. So I can use it to proxy a request that comes in to mail.domain.com to a mail server, then? Can someone suggest a good piece of mail software to use with Nginx, or does it matter more what kind of 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 )

I'm completely new to running a server, and I realized after looking through the wiki that the information & examples there regarding configuring the IMAP/POP3 module made absolutely no sense to me. Could someone give an example of a nginx.conf file that includes IMAP/POP3 configuration so

can
get an idea of where it needs to go in there? Also, do I need another tool to setup email accounts, and if not, where does that configuration
go?
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?
More than one server. For example, if
user1-9IKiO1iGCm/QT0dZR+Al...@public.gmane.org's mail is stored
on one server and user2-9IKiO1iGCm/QT0dZR+Al...@public.gmane.org's mail is stored
on another server
due to the disk speed or space constraints. If all users live on
single server, then you do not need the proxy.
