Thanks for your reply.
I remembered seeing that in rc.conf , after reading Cam's replay. After 
making that change,
fetchmail did retrieve my email, but I don't no where ... mail(x) 
doesn't retrieve it form the /var/mail
or /var/spool/mqueue? Fetchmail seems to being sending it to /dev/null 
(which will save on hd space :) ) .
