Not sure about the POP. If you create an account, you can attach an external POP account to it, and retrieve the mail that way. I don't know if there's a way to use fetchmail or anything of the sort.
There is, I use it all the time. Once you have installed fetchmail (obviously), far and away the easiest way to get it to check your external account is to install Webmin and then use Webmin's fetchmail administration applet to set up a fetch for your pop account. Then Webmin also lets you schedule automatic checking, and puts in a cron job for you, all from the GUI. WAY easier than any other method I've seen.
