I'm using the following mail-sources for retrieving mail from
my local spool as well as fetching mail from my primary mail-
host. Maybe not that elegant, but its fast and authentication
is conveniently handled by ssh-agent.
(setq mail-sources
'((file)
(file :prescript "ssh host bin/getmail >%t")))

#!/bin/sh

# getmail - move mail from spool to stdout

MOVEMAIL=/usr/lib/emacs/20.3/i386-redhat-linux/movemail
TMP=~/Mail/tmp
rm -f $TMP; $MOVEMAIL $MAIL $TMP >/dev/null && cat $TMP
