Sounds like a job for fetchmail unless the ISP offers ETURN services.
fetchmail connects to a remote POP server (so that it can slurp all
the mail for a single mailbox) and reinjects it into your local
mail system. It's not necessarily perfect depending on the ISPs
mail system (especially wrt retrieving envelope info) but it's
better than nothing if you have no choice.
