using the above to fill in fetchmailconf will give you something like:

# Configuration created Tue Dec 12 02:04:42 2000 by fetchmailconf
set postmaster "tony"
set bouncemail
set properties ""
poll worldnet.att.net, the-sphere.org with proto POP3
     user arodriguez there with password not-this-one is tony here
     options keep fetchall
