You might want to give dovecot a try on the server side. It's really rather good. As for IMAP clients: if you've got a spare PHP enabled webserver anywhere, squirrelmail is pretty simple to set up. IMAP is pretty tricky that way: all of the different clients and servers implement only approximately the same protocol and getting everything to agree on a compatible set of quirks can be a bore.
