Have a look at /usr/doc/fetchmail. There are two skripts to be put in
/etc/ppp/ip-up.d/ and /etc/ppp/ip-down.d/ and an sample global fetchmailrc
file, to be put in /etc/. fetchmail will automaticaly run as a deamon,
fetching mail for different users in regular intervalls, till the ppp
conection goes down. I guess, that's the best way to do it.
