Definitely use biff n.
However, I believe the question was about fetchmail.
Put a line like this in your .fetchmailrc or /etc/fetchmailrc
set daemon 300
That will tell fetchmail to check your mail every 5 minutes (300
seconds) and you'll never see it.
Course, I spose you could always say
fetchmail [arguments here] > /dev/null &&
and then you'd only see error messages.
