Running a POP or IMAP client on a LAN

[Jerry Feldman]

In general, my local system simply drops email into /var/spool/mail. 
However, I may want to grab email for my wife where I would need to run a 
POP3 or IMAP client. 
Both dovecot, courier-imap and cyrus-imap server both POP3 and IMAP, and 
Qpopper serves POP3. I'm not concerned about security, but I might tie this 
into SPAMD later. 

I am only going to configure 1 client inside my private LAN. I'll use smtp 
and fetchmail to get her email from the outside world. 

So, my real question is the ease of setting one of these up, and the 
reliability. I'm not concerened about security because all the access is 
local to my LAN.
