it's not clear. fetchmail purpose is to fetch mail from remote
mailserver and forward to local mail delivering subsystem. Read
fetchmail(1). There are enough info on topic. I just provide here some
tips.

It's right. Fetchmail take mailservers from ~/.fetchmailrc or file,
specified on command line. Syntax is not easy, but very usable.

I provide You with example from my ~root/.fetchmailrc:
.....
set daemon 600 #run in daemon mode and check mail every 10 minutes

poll relay1.provider.domain with proto IMAP user '<usernam>' there
	with password '<passwd>' is 'user@some.domain' here

In second line we set to poll mail from relay1.provider.domain by
IMAP. Use <usernam> with passwd <passwd> there (on relay1) and mail
fetched mail (sorry ;-) to user@some.domain

Hope, this help.
