 Home email server - Manatee
What c4p said.

Google mail is easy to configure for IMAP. I have a couple of other email accounts that I forward to gmail so I can handle it all together this way.

You still use a mail client such as Outlook Express or Thunderbird. A major benefit for me with a slow (500kbps) connection is that the mails don't have to download unless I want to open them; the ones I'm not interested in I can ignore or delete without downloading.

Because the mails stay on the server indefinitely I can use multiple machines and webmail without problems.

Anything really important I can drag into a local folder and back up myself.
