Seven words: This particular ISP does not support IMAP.

In fact most commercial ISPs don't support it, which is kind of
understandable from their point of view. They prefer to hand off the
mail and forget it, rather than being responsable for the care and
feeding of many potentially large mailboxes. Corporate mail is a totally
different story and IMAP fits in well. Which is why I use it on my
corporate account.

Guess I shouldn't have been so terse... :(

Run an IMAPd on your home server.  Then, expose it to the world
via webmail, which you don't like, or imaps (port 993), since 
you (reasonably) want to use Evo.

Combine it with something like fetchmail (or getmail).  You could
then tie it in with SpamAssassin and/or a filter like maildrop.

Here's the step-by-step process for creating the local-access
installation:

And I thought the point of using Evo was *not* to have to use Webmail.
Every Webmail system I've seen (even Gmail) is second-best to a decent
local client. I use 'em when I have to (in fact I support one) but only
if I have to.

Three words: IMAP plus webmail.

Not everyone uses mail the same way.

Since there is nothing new under the sun, Those Who Have Come Before
Us have already solved that problem.

Why do you leave the emails on the POP server?
