If you retrieve mail via POP3 you can use pop3proxy (see
http://mcd.perlmonk.org/pop3proxy/) There are apparently equivalent
proxies for IMAP plus some commercial offerings like SAProxy Pro (which is
essentially pop3proxy with sharp edges filed off for a certain class of
Windows user.) pop3proxy will work under Cygwin under Win32, and possibly
under Activestate perl (I've only tested the former) so you aren't
completely tied to unix either.

It will take more effort to do what you want but it can be done. You're
not _completetly_ SOL...
