Go to Eric S. Raymond's home page at  http://locke.ccil.org:80/~esr/
Follow the link to  Eric's Freeware Collection
Under Recent Additions and Updates, click on "fetchmail".
Build it.
Make a trivial $HOME/.fetchmailrc file, containing

poll sunshine.net pass qwertyuiop

except you substitute the password for the marc_turenne account on
sunshine.net for qwertyuiop

If you simply run

fetchmail

it will check for mail just once, and fetch what it finds. If you run

fetchmail -d 600

it will run in the background and check every 600 seconds. You can leave
it running even when you are off line.

When it fetches mail, it stuffs it into localhost:smtp so sendmail sees
the mail as coming over a network connection.
