eg.  not really tested


# grep fetchmail  /etc/rc.local
/usr/bin/fetchmail


# vi  /root/.fetchmailrc
set daemon 600
set logfile /var/log/maillog


poll pop.provider.net proto pop3
     user "shrek-m at gmx.de" password "your_passowrd"
         smtpname "localuser at localhost.localdomain"  keep

poll imap.other_provider.de proto imap
    user "user at bla.de" password "other_password"
        is "localuser" here
    user "user1 at bla.de" password "password"
        is "localuser1" here


# man fetchmail

if your distro provides fetchmailconf you can try it with
# fetchmailconf
