Mail fetching problem

At my university they don't allow pop3 access from outside their network, but 
I can ssh and ftp them. They provide webmail off campus, but I'd much rather 
use a 'proper' client.

I'm thinking it might be possible to automatically open an ssh connection, 
call inc on their machine (to transfer the mail to my remote home dir) then 
use ftp to copy it to my machine.

Before I start hacking it up, has anyone done somthing like this before or 
know of any prexisting tools?

Jim
