install uw-imapd, create accounts on box 001 for each user, and set up
/etc/fetchmailrc to stick mail for each remote user into each local
user's mailbox (removing teh need for fetchmail to separate users' mail
out - though it can still put it in pretty imap folders :))

that should be all there is to it..  I have a similar set up on my
personal mail server to grab mail out of my work email (pop account). I
use imap so that I can read mail from both/any accounts from anywhere
(imap client, squirrelmail/web, etc..).

Cheers!
