I use getmail [1] to obtain what you wrote above. Sample pop3 configuration
for getmail just in case you are interested:

    [options]
    verbose = 1
    delete = true

    [retriever]
    type = SimplePOP3SSLRetriever
    server = mail.something.com
    username = france...@something.com
    port = 995
    password = somepassword

    [destination]
    type = Maildir
    path = ~/somfolder/somebox

Don't forget that ~/somfolder/somebox should of course conform to Maildir
standard (i.e. contain new/ cur/ new/ tmp/ subfolders).
