You may use the pop3 connector for downloading mails.

This could be achieved with the smarthost setting.

It’s not recommended to use connectors and smarthost, from the docs:

It is not recommended to use the POP3 connector as the primary method for managing email. Mail delivery can be affected by disk space and connectivity problems of the provider’s server. Also, the spam filter will be less effective due to the original email envelope information becoming lost.

Sending through a smarthost is generally not recommended. It might be used only if the server is temporarily blacklisted [14], or normal SMTP access is restricted by the ISP.
