Well I have something similar to that(IMAP without SSL but I bet IMAP with SSL isn't going to take too much time.) I can use fetchmail to get from all my accounts. but the problem comes with bellsouth trying to renew my IP. Sometimes the IP doesn't change for couple of days and sometimes it renews every other hour. I have set up no-ip script to update my ip every time it changes but sometimes it fails to change.
Now searching for options i found that you could tunnel fetchmail thru ssh. but then again my *AlwaysOn* 50 times faster than dialup(Crap) DSL connection shouldn't mess things up.
