I think that for 1 and 2 (download and delete) you can use getmail with
pop3 and 'delete = true' option. I never used like this but from the
documentation [1] I think this do the intended.

For 3 is "different Linux installs" on same computer? If so, you can
simple use the same maildir. If not you can share the maildir via imap.
