Bert,

use fetchmail to scoop mail from offsite pop boxes.

Simply create /home/user/.fetchmailrc  with the following contents ;

poll pop.isp.net.nz
protocol pop3
user popusername
pass poppassword


Now, as user 'user' execute fetchmail -d300 and fetchmail will
background and check that popbox every 5 minutes.  easy.

Fetchmail is just bees knees for grabbing popmail.
