First off it may be easier if you populate a file called .fetchmailrc
this will allow you get around the password issue (if you want to)

in .fetchmailrc put a line as follows

poll mailserver.domain.com with proto auto user username there with
password  password is user here 


This will do the following

poll mailserver.domain.com	 - will poll the named server for mail
with proto auto			 - Will auto select the correct protocol
user username
password password		 - Self explanatory really, but if password is your
pasword then you may need to "" it

is user here			 - Will deliver to the local user on the machine


Hope this helps
