Hi, I have same solution her, Pine and fetchmail for two pop accounts,
here's my ~/.fetchmailrc

# Configuration created Sat Aug  3 12:54:59 2002 by fetchmailconf
set postmaster "ernst"
set bouncemail
set no spambounce
set properties ""
        poll mail.bluecom.no
        proto pop3
        uidl
        user "blueno1671"
        password "********"
        is blueno1671
        keep
        mda
        '/usr/bin/procmail -f-'

        poll mail.online.no
        proto pop3
        uidl
        user "ermavin"
        password "********"
        is ernst here
        keep
        mda
        '/usr/bin/procmail -f-'

My usr on debian is "ernst" the two usrnames in pop acc is as you can see
blueno1671 and ermavin.

As you can see the file is old, have used it for some years, never
troubbel with it

/ernst-magne
