You could use fetchmail to snarf it and any IMAP server to make it
available as you like - I use UW imapd, which is pretty lightweight.
I do that with both gmail and yahoo mail. Yahoo only offers IMAP for
free, not POP. That's okay--except when you have a connectivity issue
with Yahoo and your mail vanishes until it returns.
Yahoo offers POP, but I believe that they want their palm crossed with
silver for it. True?
