It looks like imap is more suitable for what I am trying to do than pop. There may be a slight issue in the fact that I use .forward to trigger procmail which has the effect of instantly snatching up every piece of incoming mail and putting it in to a nmh folder that resides in /home/%user/Mail/%folder which means /var/mail is always empty. I just created another user which won't have any .forward or procmail attention. Forwarding messages to this user will make them hang in /var/mail/%user and those should be available to imap.
On the Mac, I will be reading that user's mail via imap to retrieve the messages.
