Fetchmail, sendmail... let's do a thread about mail!
Are you trying to use fetchmail to get mail from several accounts into
mailfolders for one user, or for several users? For one user it is
easy, just run it as the intended user, not as user email. For
several users, the fetchmail man pages go into a fair amount of detail
on how to do it. In short, it's not a good idea. Get separate
accounts for each user on the remote server, and run fetchmail for
each user on your local machine.
