Hi,

I've done it with procmail ... just add
mda procmail -d user_name
at the end of your .fetchmailrc file
this will move the mails for a particular user to
/var/spool/mail/user_name
obviously you'll need to check if you have procmail installed. I havent
played a lot with it so cant give you more details but have a look at man
pages.
my .fetchmailrc :

set postmaster igill
set bouncemail
set no spambounce
set properties 
poll mail.softhome.net with proto POP3
   user 'ishpreetgill' there with password 'x' is 'ishpreetgill'
here
mda procmail -d igill


suggestion: saving password in .fetchmailrc can be dangerous for health
:)
