You could use something like getmail (package getmail4):
Description-en: mail retriever with support for POP3, IMAP4 and SDPS
getmail is intended as a simple replacement for fetchmail.
It retrieves mail (either all messages, or only unread messages)
from one or more POP3/IMAP4/SDPS servers for one or more email
accounts, and reliably delivers into a qmail-style Maildir, mbox
file or to a command (pipe delivery) like maildrop or procmail,
specified on a per-account basis. getmail also has support for
domain (multidrop) mailboxes.
.
Supported protocols:
POP3, POP3-over-SSL, IMAP4, IMAP4-over-SSL, and SDPS mail.
Works very well for me, easy to set up. As long as your mail provider
offers one of the supported protocols (Gmail has both POP3 and IMAP) it
should do what you want.
