I'm running a setup with Fetchmail bringing my email in via POP to a 
local Dovecot IMAPS server and I really like it. I'm using dovecot for 
the mailbox setup, postfix for mta, fetchmail to pickup mail and do some 
filtering (any messages with Cell in the subject line get forwarded to 
my Virgin Mobile email address and then to my phone) and fairly recently 
I setup RoundCube for providing webmail access as well. I've been 
running this setup for probably close to 2 years now, it's very solid 
running off my Mythbuntu HTPC.
