John:
If it's only your own mailbox you want to support, you need only configure
a .fetchmailrc in your home directory telling where to get your mail from
and how often to go looking for new mail messages. Your installation will
install sendmail to handle outgoing mail (and local deliveries to you).
PS: Fetchmail can also be configured to gather mail for all system users,
but I have not myself done that.
