Ok, here's what you need to do, assuming you have procmail:
1. In .fetchmailrc, specify procmail as the mail delivery program:
mda /path/to/procmail
2. Create a .procmailrc, and put this in the file:
DEFAULT=$HOME/Mail/INBOX
If you don't have procmail, use another program that can do direct mail
folder delivery, and use that for adding to the folder. But having
procmail will let you add mail filtering to various different incoming
mail folders later.
