Yes. Set up your .fetchmailrc and then run fetchmail from the command
line. Alternatively, you can automate it. I start up fetchmail in
daemon mode every morning and shut it down in the evening:
[/tmp]$ crontab -l | grep fetchmail
0 6 * * 1-5 fetchmail --daemon 300
0 7 * * 6-7 fetchmail --daemon 1200
4 17 * * * fetchmail --quit
If the remote server supports SSL, then you can specify encrypted
connections with fetchmail too.

Have you done any work setting up Roles in pine? They'd be the key
here. I define a role for each of my mail accounts, and then use that
role when replying in that account's context. Let me know if you want
some further info along those lines.
