Vanishes?  It's still in /var/spool/mqueue, isn't it?  Run 'mailq',
and you should be able to see it.

Add the line below to /etc/ppp/ip-up (create it if it doesn't already
exist; see pppd(8) for details):

sendmail -q

...then any pending mail will be sent when you bring up your PPP
connection.

POP is a receive-only protocol.
