I'll second the dbmail application. It's POP or IMAP server based.
But it does what you are looking for.

I used to use dovecot, which is extremely fast.
But, if you gave it too much to do it would hang for hours chewing up the hard
drive and generating heat.

dbmail isn't as fast as dovecot for a single user, single event. But not by
much. However, it scales *much* better into the 100's and 1000's of actions.
