I don't think so - from fetchmail(1):

       -k, --keep
              (Keyword: keep)  Keep  retrieved  messages  on  the
              remote  mailserver.  Normally, messages are deleted
              from the folder on the mailserver after  they  have
              been  retrieved.  Specifying the keep option causes
              retrieved messages to remain in your folder on  the
              mailserver.  This option does not work with ETRN.

It claims to work with all protocols except ESMTP/ETRN. Come to think of
it, I also use imap for fetching mail to my PalmPilot, and it allows me to
leave messages on my server. Cheers, Colin.
