It seems easier to replace fetchmail with getmail.

I realize that this is not the usual way to use a POP server.
However, in my limited understanding of the protocol, the server doesn't
delete the message until requested to do so by the client, so it should
be an easy addition to the code to delete after some delay. I'd even
thought of doing this myself in my (sorely lacking) spare time.
Apparently getmail has already done it.
