Reg,

Fetchmail's documentation is located here:

http://fetchmail.berlios.de/

When I did use fetchmail, it was to download a copy of my email from 
another provider's POP3 mailserver down into my own personal IMAP server 
(via local SMTP). I'm not sure why one would configure fetchmail to 
connect to an IMAP server running on local host.
