Create a procmail recipe to deliver the mail to the user mailbox.
If fetchmail is being run by root then put a .fetchmailrc in root's
directory or you can set one up in /etc. If it is a user account you are
running fetchmail create a .fetchmailrc in the users directory. The most
important line is to use 

is localuseraccountname here


sample .fetchmailrc 

set postmaster "username"
set logfile .mailfetch-log

poll mail.servername.net with proto POP3 uidl
 user 'pop3_username' 
pass 'pop3_password' 
is localuseraccountname here 
keep 


## end of .fetchmailrc

You can use a .procmailrc recipe to catch anything to a
certain pop3_accounts name in the header.

:0H:
* .*pop3_username.*
/var/spool/mail/username
