Well you could put something like this in your .Xclients or .xinitrc
file to start fetchmail when you login only, or in /etc/rc.d/rc.local
if you want it running everytime it boots:
/usr/bin/fetchmail -d 3600 &
This will run fetchmail in the daemon mode and fetch you mail once
every hour. Change the time to suit your demands.
Good luck,
