I don't know anything about courier-imap, but I do use fetchmail (which, at
a brief glance looks somewhat similar).
You can use a .forward file to tell exim where to drop all your mail, like:

# Exim filter
save /home/ross/Maildir/mail


There are more advanced things you can do with .forward files, like separate
based on sender, etc.  Look at the exim manual for that.
