Well, it would be a really short one, but I might at some point. Thanks for the request. In the meantime, if you install OfflineIMAP (or its alternative, mbsync[0]) it should place a template configuration where you only need to change standard things like the host of your email server, username, password, and so on. Then you will be syncing your mail to some local folder like ~/imap. Then all you need to set is (setq rmail-primary-inbox-list '("maildir:///home/you/imap/INBOX")) and make sure GNU Mailutils is installed. That's it, Rmail takes care of the rest. You'll need to set up a cronjob to run your syncing utility regularly. Futhermore, I recommend reading the Rmail manual about remote inboxes[1].
