I want the server to send me a so called SMS (these are short 150 chars messages sent to cell.phones, I think this system is quite well known in Europe, I'm sure there's something similar in US, but don't know what it's called there....) to my cell. phone everytime I receive an email to this POP3.

Depending on your cell-phone provider, you not need a script. I have a CDMA
phone through Airtouch and their system is configured so that mail to
phonenumber@xxxxxxxxxxxx is sent to the phone if you've paid for the
text-messaging service. If you buy service with a company which does this,
all you'd need to do is set your mailserver to forward from that account to
your provider's gateway address.
