Why not install simple IMAP server on your local machine and then use
imapsync to transfer the data (or use Dovecot if it’s already installed)?
All you need then is to tell your local IMAP to use Maildir.

Imapsync is very easy to use and also very reliable (my own oppinion).
Since it's Perl it's not as fast as it could be but it should be just fine
for your needs.
