I set up a used junk PC I bought real cheap as my own imap server.
It uses fetchmail to pop my pop accounts - and procmail to filter into
folders. In addition to my mail clients, I also use squirrelmail to read
(though not send).

That way I don't need to use imap facilities of my ISP, my accounts are
all pop.

I do use my ISP's smtp server though.
