Oh, now I understand what you're saying. Unfortunately
I am currently stuck with GMail, using the web interface.
I could setup POP3 to receive emails into my inbox (I did so
for some other accounts), but I guess I could not setup IMAP
for GMail.

I could setup/run some daemons on my server, as long as
the mails could eventually deliver to my inbox so that my
regular workflow would stay the same. I don't know what
could do that though.
