I use Cyrus IMAP on linux.
It's used by a few university campuses so it's stable and scales.
I used to run all my mail on a K3-450 (remember them) - some mailboxes had
many
tens of thousands of emails in them and even on
that old hardware it would respond instantly.

I have several email clients and a basic web-mail service so I can access
mail
from web-cafe's or whilst on holiday.
