To comment on your last two sentences: that's not true.
Just give the 'keep'-option in your configuration for fetchmail and it
will only copy messages to the local mailbox - and keep them on the
server, too. So, it'd be no problem to fetchmail messages and read them
from time to time with webmailers. Or won't googlemail work with this
option?
