Can anyone point me at fairly simple instructions for installing an IMAP server on an Ubuntu desktop? Or recommend a good imap server for this type of use? I think dovecot would be my default choice.
Dovecot is certainly what I use, and is fast, has a decent config file, and is "quite flexible" (tm). For a bog standard setup, a simple aptitude install dovecot-imapd should do.

I'd echo that. I managed to get dovecot working with postfix and a backend MySQL database in a groupware package relatively easily by following the dovecot wiki instructions on local delivery. Postfix and dovecot work together well. Take a look at http://wiki.dovecot.org/LDA
If you are interested in my groupware experience take a look at http://baldric.net/using-postfix-and-dovecot-to-provide-mail-to-egroupware/ where I have documented what I did.

The text file for RFC 854 contains exactly 854 lines. Do you think there is any cosmic significance in this?
