Run your own mail server.  Lots of people do it, and it's not as
hard as you think.  It also lets you pull mail from your ISP on
a regular basis, whether you are logged in or not.

Usually (always?) it's run in concert with spamassassin and a 
localhost IMAP server. Evo could then POP the emails, but I don't
know why you would.
