Maybe off-topic, still: (If your remote server is imap,) why not use
fetchmail?
Here's a mangled/working /etc/fetchmailrc for an SSL imap account:
> poll smtp.provider.net protocol IMAP port 993
> user 'somone at somewhere.com' is 'someone' here
> password 'MyPass123'
> folder 'INBOX'
> fetchall
> idle
> ssl

This uses imap idle over there and fetches new mail, as it arrives.
Local users will be notified of new mail without looking explicitly…
