It's already been clarified that the fetchmail instance would also be remote, so this doesn't apply to the OP, but for the record, getmail handles the above better. With IMAP fetchmail handles 'download and leave on server' through the IMAP '/SEEN' flag, it downloads unread mail, marking everything it downloads as read. This has two obvious flaws, anything you read online wont get downloaded, and anything that's downloaded gets marked as read on the server. getmail keeps track of what it's downloaded using timestamped UID+UIDVALIDITY pairs, so: 1. it downloads reliably 2. it wont mark your IMAP mail as read (unless you want it to) 3. it supports an option to delete server-side mail N days after download.
