Following is my .fetchmailrc:

set daemon 0
# Do we need to test with bounce mail if this can avoid spam?
set no bouncemail
set logfile /var/log/fetchmail.log

poll www.xxx.yyy.zzz with protocol pop3
        user user1 with password abcdef is * here
        user user2 with password abcdef is user2 here
poll eee.fff.ggg.hhh with protocol pop3
        user user1 with password tomany3e is user1 here

poll someserver.com with protocol pop3
        user user3 with password something is user3 here

Then I add the following in crontab to run fetchmail 14 minutes past
every hour between 4am and 8pm:

14 4-20 * * * /usr/bin/fetchmail -f /etc/fetchmailrc/.fetchmailrc

Caution the file .fetchmailrc expects 600 permissions!

OR you can create lot of individual
