assuming you have all mail going to a single demon pop3 mailbox then
google fetchmail and multidrop

http://www.catb.org/~esr/fetchmail/fetchmail-man.html#25

ie if you want to do this then dont. Instead setup an MTA like exim and
have fetchmail feed exim (or cyrus or the like).

fred@xxxxxxx --smtp-> single demon pop mailbox
--fetchmail-> your PC --exim-> fred's mailbox
ukha@xxxxxxx --smtp-> single demon pop mailbox
--fetchmail-> your PC --exim-> ukha's mailbox

if however you have different pop3 mailboxes for each user at demon then
you have multiple
user 'x' there with password 'xxxxxxx' is X@xxxxxxx
here options fetchall
lines
