here's a sample fetchmail config file to give you an idea - just read it
out loud:

set daemon 180 # ie check every 180 secs

poll pop3.demon.co.uk with proto POP3
user 'beagles-den' there with password 'xxxxxxx' is
ukha@xxxxxxx here options fetchall
antispam 571 550 501 554

Not hard really :)

And, FWIW, I setup a local IMAP server with a web interface so I can
read my mail from any PC on my network or indeed whilst out on the web.

Linux rocks!
