Look at 'man fetchmail', carefully.
...
It's possible to specify more than one user per server
(this is only likely to be useful when running fetchmail
in daemon mode as root). The `user' keyword leads off a
user description, and every user specification in a multi-
user entry must include it. Here's an example:
poll pop.provider.net proto pop3 port 3111
user jsmith with pass secret1 is smith here
user jones with pass secret2 is jjones here
This associates the local username `smith' with the
pop.provider.net username `jsmith' and the local username
`jjones' with the pop.provider.net username `jones'.
...
Be careful with the permissions on the .fetchmailrc, it contains
passwords.
