I'll add my +1 to this comment, and throw in a "why POP3?" question.
Who is your provider, gmail? POP3 should have died out a decade ago.
The replacement is IMAP, and lo and behold, Getmail as well as every
other MUA/MUU supports it fully. It's hard to imagine a significant
mail service which has POP3 but not IMAP service.

Another thing worth mention: Postfix != MSexchange. The latter is a
suite of software which implements (misimplements in many cases, it
seems, although to be fair I think that is more commonly a case of
administrator incompetence) other protocols to present the user with
a complete mail server solution.

Postfix is a MTA (mail transfer agent.) The MTA is just one of many
parts a complete mail server would require. And perhaps you (the OP,
I mean) should discuss your ultimate goal here. From what this and
your other thread showed us, I am doubtful that you want or need a
MTA at all.

P.S.: Getmail also supports TLS/SSL. :)
