Yes, you can run both.  This is *not* done in the MTA but provided by
IMAP and POP3 servers.  The standard imap server (from uw) provides both
services.  An MTA is never used to read mail - it's a Mail Transfer
Agent - i.e. server to server.  An MUA (Mail User Agent) is used to read
mail.  Your mail client (the MUA) uses the imap or pop3 protocols to get
the mail from the servers - it's not a transfer by the normal use of the
terminology.

rpm -qi imap
Check the description - it says it provides both services.
