I know I'm avoiding the direct question, but I use getmail to retrieve
mail from a pop3 account and run it through procmail to distribute it to
local imap folders. I'm not sure how well it works for multiple
accounts, as I only use it for one account. It's been a while since
I've set it up, so I don't remember too many details. Perhaps check it
out if you feel you need an alternative to fetchmail, and if you need
any help, I can go back and see how it's set up.
