I'm going to go even farther afield, and suggest the IMAP server we use at work. It's Windows-based, but it can run on Win2k Pro. Actually it can run on NT, or even 9x, but I wouldn't recommend that.
www.mdaemon.com - their 6.70 release just came out the other day. They've licensed Bynari's client plugin, so that Outlook users can use IMAP behind-the-scenes (even if your version of Outlook doesn't support IMAP natively)
The product is inexpensive:
They have POP or IMAP in the Pro version, they have an IMAP-based web-mail product that supports SSL, and has it's own calendar that will be integrated with Outlook in the next rev, they have a server-based IM system (looking to integrate with Trillian I think.)
Inexpensive add-ons:
AV product plugin based on Kaspersky, but you can use something else, the Bynari client (Groupware) will be an additional cost when it's release (you can start playing with the betas now if you'd like)
The only PITA for me right now - they don't support IMAP SEARCH BODY, which I believe was one of your requirements. I've made a point to get that wish-listed.
MDaemon keep messages as RFC-822 text files in server-side directories, one per IMAP folder. So, a server-side search-engine would be a worthwhile project; Perl seems like it would fit the bill.
Email me (mfinnigan@telaid.com) if you think you would like to hear more from me on the topic.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
