fetchmail should be able to do this, with something like:
fetchmail -a -i -v -f fetchmailrc
The fetchmailrc contains
poll <mail.source.com> proto pop3 smtphost <mail.targethost.com>
smtpaddress <targetuser@mail.targethost.com> user <myuser> password
<mypassword>
The smtphost, smtpaddress, smtpname in the man page may show you how to
get a working rc configuration. I haven't done this before, so I haven't
tested it.
