well too. The only thing with them is: they will pull your email to
your computer and delete it from the server. You won't be able to read
email with the webmail frontend anymore; you'll have to use something
on your own computer.
Run fetchmail with the -k switch or set keep on your entry in
fetchmailrc, which will leave your messages on the remote server. I
don't know about getmail since I've never used it.
Cheers,
With getmail, the keep switch is -l (leave on server)
-d (is to delete on server)
