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

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 I
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.
