You'd be using pop3 or possibly imap4 to get your mail from your ISP,
most likely.  Look at fetchmail and fetchmail-ssl.

If your ISP offers you a shell account, go hit dyndns.org and sign up
for a hostname, then have your .forward at your ISP point to the
address on the box you're hosting yourself on.
