I'd say you want to use fetchmail; it can periodically download your
email from a pop server. See http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/fetchmail/.
You should start by installing the fetchmail rpm (if it isn't
installed already), and then read the web/man pages. It essentially
comes down to executing fetchmail after creating a .fetchmailrc file
which specifies how to contact your pop server. Works very well...
