 If your account provides IMAP access, then you're ready. Just 
configure ,,Your X Mail Client''[1] and then ,,Your Console Mail Client''[2] 
to use it. IMAP is like a database of e-mail. You don't have to download 
e-mails, just a headers. 

 [1] KMail, Thunderbird, Evolution
 [2] Mutt, Elmo, Pain.. eerm, Pine ;)
