Unless I've misunderstood, the requirement is to regularly download 
from the Freeserve address using POP3 to *another* email account, in a 
way that does not depend on the home (BB) internet connection being 
active.

So what the OP is after is an email account that can automatically 
download from other email account(s).

FastMail have been around a while and seem pretty good both from 
personal experience and ratings on about.com etc. They seem to provide 
what is needed:

See "Scheduled Check".
