Here's a sample .fetchmailrc entry. For more info see 'man fetchmail'.

poll remote_server_name protocol imap:
        localdomains mydomain.com
       username account_name to * here password account_passwd
       mda "/usr/sbin/sendmail -v -f %F %T " ;

Substitute remote_server_name, mydomain.com, account_name & account_passwd with
your own & that should work. This will invoke fetchmail with 'sendmail' as the
MDA for local delivery. You can also configure other mailer program for local
delivery instead of sendmail.
