I've been using fetchmail which is "son of popclient" and
supposed to be better.  For me it has the advantage over
popclient of knowing how to send each incoming message to my
sendmail, so that mail "just works" the way it would if you
were fully connected.  Popclient just sends the messages to
stdout or a file if I remember rightly.
