Use fetchmail to retrieve mail from the POP3 mailbox. It can then
inject it into your favourite MTA. You could do something along the
lines of this for your ~/.fetchmailrc:
poll <mail server> protocol pop3
username "mjodeit" password <password> is <local username> here.
That'll pull all your email down.
For the MTA, I'd have to recommend sendmail. If you use the m4 scripts
to configure it, it's not that hard. Other folks talk very highly of
postfix though. If you do go with sendmail, let me know and I can post
you my sendmail config (which does some vaguely wierd and wonderful
stuff).
