easy - just use one of the debian packages. I use uw-imapd - but I have also
used cyrus-imapd in the past. With the first package you need user accounts
on the gateway machine for all the mail users for the second you don't.
Personally if its just two people I would stick with uw-imapd

I do the same (apart from procmail - my mail client does the sorting) - and
use it to deliver mail to several accounts on my server machine. The
transport section of the /etc/exim/exim.conf file is like this.
local_delivery:
driver = appendfile
group = mail
mode = 0660
mode_fail_narrower = false
envelope_to_add = true
return_path_add = true
file = /var/spool/mail/${local_part}
uw-imapd already assumes that mail is in the file mentioned above and
provides an imap and pop3 service to it. If you use cyrus, its more
complicated because you have to pipe stuff into it - I use mailman as a list
manager and you have to pipe stuff to that. There is a full example on the
exim web site which you can use as an example if you decide to go that way
