For bash, the files read at an interactive login are the first one
that exists of ~/.bash_profile, ~/.bash_login or ~/.profile. See the
"INVOCATION" section of the bash man page. If you are not running
bash, read the documentation for your shell.

Yes, adding a 'fetchmail' (possibly with a -d option) at the end will
work. If fetchmail does not run in the background you will
have to wait till it is done to complete your login.
