I use gnus for this. Emacs and gnus are always up and running
on my constantly connected office machine. I then use the
deamon functionality in gnus to get new mails (and do some
other stuff):

  (gnus-demon-add-handler 'gnus-group-expire-all-groups 90 60)
  (gnus-demon-add-handler 'gnus-agent-regenerate 90 60)
  (gnus-demon-add-handler 'gnus-agent-fetch-session 90 60)
  (gnus-demon-add-handler 'gnus-demon-scan-mail 90 60)

Then I can read properly sorted emails on the IMAP server
from any client.

Maybe this could work for you too?
