Personally I'd keep using fetchmail. This is the combination I use on
boxes at home and work. If your ISP uses qmail to manage your
mailboxes its even easier.
All you have to do is set up a virtual domain on your mail server
thats the same as your domain at your ISP. Then you let fetchmail (in
multidrop mode)/qmail/vpopmail do the rest of the work for you. I can
send you my setup details if you want.
Alternatively you use fetchmail/getmail and get them to deliver to a
single mailbox on your machine and let your mail agent do the
filtering into folders.
getmail is good, but doesnt do stuff as well as fetchmail IMNSHO and
I'm not sure its as configurable as fetchmail (I havnt looked at it
for a while though).
