Ramon,
I've been doing this exact thing for over a year now! The
moongroup server is colocated at a friend of mine's ISP (I know...
you are one! <grin>) and I travel all over the country. My mail
files are stored in one place (on the moongroup server) and I access
then via telnet and pine from anywhere. I have had no problems at
all other than when the hurricane hit eastern NC this summer.
I have a couple of other accounts as well and I use fetchmail to pull
'em and procmail to put 'em in their own separate folders.
With the setup you have just use fetchmail to pull your mail to the
"home" server and then access it via telnet and pine.
I really don't see a problem!
Cheers!
