Is there an Emacs package for using rmail with an imap server?

A: 

CYRUS IMAP Sieve

What does this have to do with Emacs?

The RMAIL model is not flexible enough to map to IMAP. Your best bet is using Gnus. Detailed instructions can be found here:

The Gnus integration works very well.

You might also check out Mew. It is a bit more like other mail clients than Gnus, though it just does mail (no NNTP, feeds, etc.)

Whichever Emacs mailreader you pick, prepare to spend a few hours configuring it to your liking...

I wrote a series of blog entries on how to read email in Emacs. Look in jfm3-repl.blogspot.com for entries tagged "email" and "emacs".

Cliff Notes: Use something like fetchmail and a local IMAP server or offlineimap, and Gnus.
