You could try poproute from http://www.ornic.com
It's free and even OpenSource
But it has a limitation - one copy of it cout fetch only till 12 pop3
accounts, but I think, you could run more then one copy simultaneously.

> ----------------------------------------
> - Any recommendation on a "POP3 downloader" to use with Exchange?
> - Just want to use it for 2-3 weeks while we migrate to Exchange, so it

> - POP3 downloader needs to be able to download e-mail from multiple POP3

> THE BACKGROUND (if you have more time):
> ----------------------------------------
> - Our users now have their Outlooks hitting a POP3 server (Unix) on the
> net.
> - We're migrating to Exchange 2k, one user at a time -- simply changing
> each Outlook profile from "POP3" to "Exchange MAPI service."
> - To not disrupt yet-to-be-migrated users, I'd like to keep their
