I'm currently using fetchmail-ssl to suck mail via SPOP. It was 
simple to get running, the install docs that came with the package
were sufficient to get it going in about 10 minutes. You can find
it anywhere by just throwing fetchmail-ssl into Google. I'm not
sure that's this is the best or most secure method, but it only
takes a few minutes so it might be worth a shot.
