You are certainly on the right track wtih imap_*()
The same set of functions can be used for checking both POP3 and IMAP 4 accounts. With POP3 however you will either have to leave mail on server or store them in db or maildir. Else you lose the mail after you read it!
PHP happens to be one of the most popular languages when it comes to creating web based mail systems. You will find a classic at
http://www.squirrelmail.org/ which happens to be open source as well.
all the best

How can I do this? Someone who have tried this?
I found some functions for IMAP built in PHP, do you recommend that I dig deeper in those or should I use PEARs classes like http://pear.php.net/packages.php?catpid=14&catname=Mail
