You might want to look here:

http://www.imap.org/products/database.php

Select Product Type=server and platform=win32.

Looks like there are no free ones available.

At least M$ Exchange does. Despite being an overpriced piece of buggy
bloatware (if you only need IMAP).


I'm using the IMAP server from the University of Washington on my home
network (http://www.washington.edu/imap/).  It's not exactly the most
secure or most featureful IMAP server, but it's ridiculously easy to
configure (basically just start it from inetd). I just checked the docs
and according to them and the (MSVC) Makefiles the source distribution
includes, it should be possible to run it on Windows. It's up to you to
decide wether the following paragraph from the build docs scares you
enough ;-)
