I think
fetchmail+(exim|postfix)+(cyrus|courier-imapd|courier-popd|teapop) can
do all that you have mentioned. Have you given these packages a look?
You may have some trouble fetching mail from yahoo, hotmail, et al,
unless they provide pop access as well as webmail. I've never used such
services, so I dont really know what all they offer.
