I think it would be helpful if you told us which part of the config you can't 
get to work :-)

If you have a POP account with your ISP, you need something like fetchmail to 
get your POP mail from your ISP and deliver it to your qmail SMTP service, wich 
in turn can deliver it locally (ie to your un*x user account)
