Have a look at the docs for your MTA (I reccomend postfix) and read about virtual users. Then you'll need a POP/IMAP server that supports it. I came across vdpopd the other day and it looks quite good. The cyrus stuff might help as well. You can end up using LDAP or SQL to store your user dtabse which is better from an admin POV anyway if you have that many users.
