cyrus21-imapd or courrier as the spool, postfix or exim as the MTA,
and fetchmail to get the mail from the other accounts.
Filtering can be done using sieve (cyrus), the exim filters, or procmail
or any other mail filtering strategy you can configure the mta to run.
You tell fetchmail to run every 5 minutes or so, and you're done.
