I'm doing the same thing. I bought a barebones system from tigerdirect, and run Gentoo + imap + fetchmail + squirrelmail. My wife can check mail from her Windows XP box, I can check it from KMail, Evolution, Thunderbird, mutt, etc. There's a little setup involved, but worth the effort IMO.

There is another very sane option... switch to IMAP, keep all the mail on the server. :-) Then you have LOTS of choices for clients in any OS. If all you have is pop accounts, turn a box into a local IMAP server, and use fetchmail to pull stuff down and deliver it to the "server" machine. I switched to IMAP a number of years ago and haven't looked back, as long as the server's backed up, my mail's there and accessible from anywhere with squirrelmail (web) or an IMAP/TLS client.
