Fetchmail can be configured to handle multiple pop, imap etc mail 
accounts and deliver it to your local mail box.  I have three pop 
accounts that fetchmail gets the mail from and delivers to my local 
Linux mail box.  I can now use Netscape, Exmh, pine, mutt or any 
other mail program any time I want to read all this mail.  I 
also have sendmail setup to deliver mail and change the reply and 
from address to point to the pop account of my choice.

Search freshmeat for the "install-sendmail" program.  It will ask 
you a few questions and then configure your sendmail and fetchmail 
for you.

This is the way mail should be handled, let the computer do all the 
work:-)
