You can start fetchmail as root, you will need a .fetchmailrc in /root. Then in your fetchmailrc, you can have something like:
poll some.mail.server protocol POP3:
username gary password linux is user blerk here
Then root will forward all of the mails to gary to your user blerk on your local machine.

How can I fix this so all the mail will be delivered to the seperate users? Can fetchmail recieve mail and deliver it to the users it was addressed to?
