They are two separate protocols. What you need is an IMAP server. You
can leave your POP server on too if you wish. You can have both.

The docs come with the type of IMAP server you wish to use. I would
classify IMAP servers as to how they handle your mail. Some like UW
uses, I believe, mbox format. Cyrus uses its own format, and I believe
can convert mbox format to its own.  If you currently run Maildir
format type mail, there are two that come to mind, Bincimap and
Courier..
