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?
