Would You explain to me the meaning of the question
"Is USER=fetchmail correct?"?
User fetchmail has ben created automatically when I have installed
fetchmail. So the user fetchmail should be correct in any way.

Thank you for this suggestion, but don't you think that that if
fetchmail run as daemon, it is not possible to configure the system
fetchmail -> exim4 -> procmail -> ~/Mail/mailboxes?
Up to now exim4 forward the mails in to /var/mail/fetchmail mailbox. I
use Mutt to read these mails, and then save them to appropriate
~Mail/mailbox.
My question is: how to configure exim4 to forward mails to procmail?
I will appreciate any suggestion! Thanks!
