You can use something like qpopper to be the POP3 server on the Linux
box.  Then use fetchmail to download the email with a .fetchmailrc
like this:

poll foo.example.com protocol pop3:
    user c.evans there with password guessagain is carey here;
poll bar.example.com protocol pop3:
    user fido there with password ruff is heyyou here;

I'm doing something very similar to this at work, where a script runs
hourly to dial up, upload and download mail, and hang up again.
