Ask your Linux admin *which* IMAP server he's using and what version. It's
likely UW-IMAP but could also be dovecot. Both have support mailing lists.
(UW's is called (confusingly) c-client.) You may also find help in the
comp.mail.imap newsgroup.

(I use Cyrusoft Mulberry for my IMAP client, so can't help further with
this one. Mulberry is to IMAP clients what Outlook is to Exchange clients.
Ie. best of breed.)
