Switch to IMAP … it's almost 2009, already. :)

But seriously, switch to IMAP.  Have an IMAP server where all email is
stored, and connect from multiple/various clients (thunderbird,
squirrelmail (web based), blackberry service, outlook, &c.).  Pull email
From your ISP via fetchmail (via either POP or IMAP).

I've done this for a long time.  fetchmail pulls my mail via imap(s)
From dreamhost every five minutes.  Local delivery goes through procmail
to sort into maildir folders in my homedir.  courier-imap is setup to
serve those folders directly.  I primarily connect via Gnus (in emacs),
but have used thunderbird (when on the laptop), squirrelmail (when
traveling) and mutt (when gnus is misbehaving).
