I am trying to set something up for what you describe
(external POP3 account, dialup access -- have this at home).

I wrote some shell scripts to grab the messages; this seems to work.
(for each message in /mail/fs served by upas/fs, get unixheader and raw)
I think it is possible to remove the grabbed messages,
either by deleting the message directory, or via commands
to /mail/fs/ctl; I have not yet tried either of these.

If there is a better way  to do this I'm interested in hearing it.

Axel.
