I use thunderbird to point to multiple IMAP clients, each of which has a 
gig or better of email.  If the remote side is fast enough, it takes the 
load off the local side.  The biggest issue is keeping the accounts 
straight when sending a new mail (it defaults to use whatever account 
you currently have highlighted) but there's plugins that can manage this 
a bit better.
