Sure you can - set up a POP3-server. I don't have a shell on any of
the servers who host my mailboxes (with one exception).

nepomuk:/home/phil# apt-get install pop3-server

Package pop3-server is a virtual package provided by:
  cucipop 1.31-13
  cyrus-pop3d 1.5.19-2
  ipopd 4.7c-1
  qpopper 2.53-5
You should explicitly select one to install.
