AFAIK, POP3 and IMAP are purely for email retreival. Sending will _have_
to be through your MTA.

Sendmail is not all _that_ ungainly a beast - I quite like it really.

Retreival : fetchmail
Filtering : procmail
Reading : mutt
Sending : Sendmail/Postfix/Exim/<insert fav MTA here>

Note : you will have to setup a 'SmartHost' for your "offline" machine,
so all mails are sent to another machine with DNS for sending.

Hope this helps.

pv.
