fetchmail allows you to use a kind of english script language (i.e.
poll pop.catch.all.mailbox.com
user "userpop" is "userlocal" here pass "password"
is probaly close to how you are set up now (big assumption).
if you can get your catch-all acct to filter to mailboxes by name,
fetchmail can check individual mail sever folders (if I read the
documentation correcly :P) and distribute the mail accodingly by
polling each mailbox separately...vaguely like this(please check
fetchmail documention on folders)
poll pop.catch.all.mailbox.com folder user_1
user "userpop" is "user_1local" here pass "password"
poll pop.catch.all.mailbox.com folder user_2
user "userpop" is "user_2local" here pass "password"
and so on
Procmail is also an option
