And to increase the beauty, use some IMAP server to serve up the 
fetchmail'ed messages.  That way, remote access from anywhere with all 
kinds of mail clients becomes possible, along with a consistent and safe 
view of all your folders.

courier w/ssl (forget the package name) is a beautiful way to go.  Oh, 
yes, you could also then use squirrelmail + apache-ssl so that you'd 
have web access from anywhere.

Like Matthew said, "just a thought".
