Pine is an e-mail client -- arguably the best e-mail client. The UW
project also produces an imap and pop3 server -- I believe the source is
still contained in pine distribution. You will need and MTA, as well, to
run your own mail server -- ie. postfix, sendmail, exim, or qmail. I
usually run postfix -- http://postfix.org.

good luck
