Fetchmail would be a good choice, and you can use it with procmail or maildrop to deliver the mail to your local maildir(s). The configuration language for maildrop is somewhat easier to learn than procmail's. I once tried using offlineimap, but had to stop because our Exchange mail server at work would occasionally cause mails to be deleted and that would mess up sup. (I think was a "feature" of Exchange or Outlook that allowed people to recall messages after they'd been sent. I am not sure, though; I don't use Windows.) In case this would be useful, I've attached sanitized examples of my fetchmail and maildrop config files. I've got them set up to use two different incoming mail accounts, one for personal mail (gmail) and one for work mail (a bogus company, widgets.com), with separate maildirs for each.
