Imap server on a mac or PC??

I use Mail on my 3 macs, and any email that comes to my .mac account is synchonised between all the machines - whether it be that it is unread, read or deleted etc.
Is this a function of an imap server or just a unique feature of .mac?
The reason I ask is that the .mac account is a secondary email. My main email is comes to a pop3 server. Is there any way I can introduce this sort of synchronicity between the main email account and the other machines? If it is an imap thing, I figured I could setup an imap server on one of my machines (PC or mac), allow it to collect all the email from the pop3 server, and then act as a distribution point to all the other machines.
If this is correct, can anyone suggest a good imap server?
Cheers
TIA

does your primary email not support imap as well? My isp account supports imap and pop3.
you'd need a full email server not just an imap one, does your isp support that?Ever stop to think and forget to start again?0 -
