If you set up ~/.fetchmailrc right it should download it to
/var/spool/mail/yourusername
As I recall sendmail can't work with usernames that are longer than 8
characters, at least it couldn't under Red Hat 5.2, don't know if that's
changed.
Your ~/.fetchmailrc file should read something like:
set daemon 540
poll mail.mydomain.com proto pop3
user "ispuseraccount", with password a1s2d3, is "myuser" here;
man fetchmail
