You wouldn't have to. Actually, IMP can be configured to access/read/use any IMAP or POP based server located anywhere. For example, I have IMP configured on a box so that I could go to any web browser connected to the internet (anywhere), http to my IMP site, and read mail any mail from locally hosted mail to mail on other servers anywhere. All you need is a username and password (for the e-mail system being contacted), and the machine name of the mail server. It's totally cool for people with multiple e-mail accounts.
