Hi J�rn-
        What I have done for exactly this purpose is to set up an IMAP server. 
This has many advantages, including:
1)      Your account and your mail account can be different accounts.
2)      You can run any number of mail clients and see the same folders.
3)      You can have remote access to your mail if you have an always on
connection like cable or dsl.

I personally use fetchmail, maildrop, and courier-imap, but your tastes
may vary.  The reason I chose courier is because the maildir format
allows for concurrent access to folders.

Best of luck!
