There's a package 'fetchmailconf' that makes setup pretty braindead
easy.
mutt/procmail/fetchmail has been the nicest route for me. There are a
few 10-second procmail walk-throughs, so that's not something to worry
about either.
Take this to set up your procmail rules and I bet you can get
everything set up on the nicer side of 15 minutes.
