Is Gmail usable over your connection?  I point my
subscription to Gmail and tell it to put all Fedora-list
mails in a folder.  Then I can use their interface to
pick and choose which conversations to look at.

(I do have Thunderbird set up to get mails from Gmail
too, but only headers, the bodies aren't downloaded
until I ask for them.  That might still be quite slow over
dialup though.)
