Perhaps it doesn't matter so much with dialup accounts, but I'd want to be
sure all the security holes I've heard exist have been fixed first.

I use fetchmail to get mail from several accounts then cucipop to serve it

Cucipop is (or was when I was their customer) good enough for iinet.

fetchmail is updated regularly: its up to 4.5.5 or therabouts now.
Both can be had from sunsite and good mirrors.
