So you want an IMAP server, then?

Indee-diddly-doo.
What I do: sync mail from my main IMAP account to a local maildir structure 
using offlineimap. Then I can access it with mutt or any other program that 
speaks maildir, read it, move it around, delete it. Those actions are 
applied to the server by offlineimap as well. I use mutt for that most of 
the time.

I also use KMail as graphical mail client, but that is completely separate 
from the offlineimap-mutt setup and it uses its own offline cache.

Sending mail away is set up individually in each client (mutt/kmail) and 
they talk to my provider’s SMTP directly.

This setup has limited flexibility in that you need to sync manually. A 
local imap server would allow for many clients to talk to it at the same 
time in real-time. But I don’t see this as a requirement for you since you 
only have one client, basically.
