The path I took:
----------------
I used "popclient" which could be obtained at <ftp://ftp.mal.com/pub/pop>.
It was really straight forward to configure.

1) tar xvf popclient_3.0b4.tar

2) cd popclient-3.0b4

3) ./configure

4) make

5) As "root", type: make install

6) Created a ".poprc" file in my $HOME directory following the example file
   "sample.poprc".

7) Put a crontab entry on my local workstation to execute "popclient".

        * * * * * /usr/local/bin/popclient -s -o /var/spool/mail/winger <popmail-server>
