The usual program for this is fetchmail. See 'man fetchmail' in a console
for details on how to use it.

A script that calls fetchmail then does the backup, or a cron job that does
it after everyone's gone home.

Along with fetchmail you run procmail ('man procmail' and 'man 5 procmailrc'
for details) which moves the downloaded mail into the users' mailboxes
according to the contents of their ~/.procmailrc files.

It might be simplest to set the same machine up as a pop server, then you
can fetch your mail from, say, 192.168.1.5 on port 110.
