Ahoy!

I'm searching for a solution to store emails locally on a server, and local clients connect to this server with IMAP for reaching the mails.

I'm asking that proxmox mail gateway can download mails from POP3 accounts, and save it, then create local accounts for IMAP.

I found already a solution for windows, but looking for linux solution: https://www.hmailserver.com/documentation/v4.4/?page=feature_external_account

Thank you for your answers.

The PMG is meant to be placed in between the local mail server and the internet to filter the traffic (incoming and outgoing if you want) for spam.
Check the documentation for more details on how to deploy it: https://pmg.proxmox.com/pmg-docs/pmg-admin-guide.html#chapter_deployment

There are many mail servers available for Linux as well as different admin interfaces. If you need more than a simple mail server, there are also quite a few group ware servers for Linux available, all with their pro and cons.
 
One more thing, the PMG integrates fetchmail with which imap and pop3 accounts can be queried, scanned for spam and then forwarded to the downstream mail server to store them.
