You may notice that in the OPs 1st reply that the requirement is to retrieve multiple accounts *at the same time* to increase speed. AFAIK, if you use 1 file with fetchmail it will retrieve messages sequentially from each account.
You can always run multiple copies of fetchmail in the background if you want parallel fetching
#!/bin/sh fetchmail -f configfile1 & fetchmail -f configfile2 & fetchmail -f configfile3
