I'm currently using courier-imap-4.4.0-2 (Maildir) on Debian Lenny 32-bit, so it might be a bit easier to re-use some configs. But maybe something else is better? These jump out at me in the stock Squeeze repos:
> courier-imap - Courier mail server - IMAP server # Using now
> cyrus-imapd-2.2 - Cyrus mail system - IMAP support
> dovecot-imapd - secure IMAP server that supports mbox and maildir mailboxes
> mailutils-imap4d - GNU mailutils-based IMAP4 Daemon

I would second the Dovecot suggestion as it's extremely simple. My config using SSL is 41 lines, excising the default config's (from which I built mine) copious commentary and blank lines.

I'm a cyrus-imap fan. It's very reliable and simple to configure. Dovecot and Cyrus-Imap are really the 2 big (if not only) options nowadays.
