Try a .fetchmailrc file like the following:
set logfile /tmp/fetchmail.log
set invisible # suppress "Received:" line fetchmail adds
set no bouncemail
poll "mail"
protocol pop3
username "user"
password "password"
nokeep # delete successfully received messages
mda "/usr/local/bin/procmail -d %T" # pass message to the local MDA
