IMAP - it's one of the reasons I use it:

Multiple clients simultaneously connected to the same mailbox
The POP protocol requires the currently connected client to be the only client connected to the mailbox. In contrast, the IMAP protocol specifically allows simultaneous access by multiple clients and provides mechanisms for clients to detect changes made to the mailbox by other, concurrently connected, clients.

I use Courier IMAP and Fetchmail on Linux.

Depending on your needs, an Issue Tracking System might be useful too.

I can assume you are using a microsoft system.

You can try a free software like http://www.hmailserver.com/
