For that at least there's an easy fix:
1a- identify the free webmail service that suits you, offers IMAP and fetching of 3rd party POP accounts
OR
1b- install a local IMAP server and an automated tried-and-true POP fetcher locally (I forget the name of the utility but someone here will certainly remember it)
2- configure things to your taste and needs
3- forget about having to use POP.
