Can't you use the following script:
--- CUT HERE ---
#!/bin/bash
#start ppp
start_connecting
#wait until established
while [ -z "`ifconfig | grep ppp`" ]; do
  sleep 1
done
#asure that the connection is really established
sleep 2
#download what we want
fetchmail
#asure that all queues are flushed
sleep 2
#close us
close_connection
--- CUT HERE ---
??? 
It seem to work fine :-)))
