If I'm not mistaken, KMail can read maildirs directly (no IMAP server 
required).

So, to read these emails from an IMAP client that cannot read maildirs 
directly, you would need an IMAP server.

There may be issues with accessing your maildirs directly from KMail 
*and* an IMAP server at the same time, so you may want to set up KMail 
to use the IMAP server too if you do this.

Or - maybe it isn't a problem - I'm sure someone else will chime in...
