Yes. You could use fetchmail to grab the mail via pop3 and inject
it into Exim, but then Exim would need to deliver it somewhere, so
you'd need to configure your own pop or imap server as well. And I'm
not aware of any ready made tools to do the character set conversion
you want, although it could probably be scripted if you did it
yourself or paid a programmer to do it.

Best option would probably be to replace your email client.
