You'll need to get a POP client most likeley.
You then configure it with your ISP's mail server, your username and
password and Bob should be your uncle. It should then log in, collect
your mail (delete it from the server too) and dump it in your maildir.
I use fetchpop with my RedHat system and used to use popclient on
Slackware. there's various others around on the net. Ask 10 people and
you'll get at least 8 different opinions to which is best and why..
I run mine as a daemon when connected for a long time and it logs in and
checks every 20 mins or so.
