Install fetchmail and a pop server (e.g., qmail-pop3d) on your local
server. Use fetchmail to retrieve the user's mail from the Zurich POP
server. Users will have to set up .fetchmailrc files, crontab entries
to run fetchmail, and will have to reconfigure their mailers to point
to the local POP server (and SMTP server).
It's not terribly transparent, but you can create template
.fetchmailrc's and crontab entries to make it easier.
