It depends. Some of my POP accounts only receive messages occasionally,
and I don't mind mixing them in with my local mailbox. For those, I use
fetchmail, though I'm thinking of having a look at getmail sometime.
But I have a few POP accounts that I'd rather leave there, and not mix
in with my local mailbox. For those, I use mutt's POP support:
mutt -f pop:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/
I can browse it as if it's a regular mailbox that way.
