[ubuntu-in] download gmail mails elsewhere to read at home

[Moz]

Hello,

I access the internet using CDMA phone over longdistance and have very
little bandwidth. And when I return from extended travel, it is impossible
to download emails the usual way in Thunderbird. So my question is:

1. Can I download mails on some other machine using fetchmail, copy the mail
file from this machine, take it to my machine at home, and have Thunderbird
get those mails?

2. What is the configuration required for this?

Sincerely and thanks in advance.

Moz

PS: I use Hardy on an AMD64. I get about 100 MB per week of email, sometimes
more.
