I know how to download my mail (inbox,sent, whatever) via FTP and know
I can stick these files in another account to view them.

I want to get stuff off the server, back it up to CD, and occasionally
dig something out when I need it. I'm wondering about setting up Linux
under M$ Virtual PC, what else will I need? Specifically, will I have
to have cPanel to do this? Thanks.

You're making it more complicated than it has to be

Simply, you need a client to download the msg's and it deletes them from
the server.
Outlook, Outlook Express, Thunderbird, etc.
All will do as you need.
