Of course it works ;-)

You set the crontab for *root*, and the fetchmail.rc can point to and deliver
mail to the correct mailboxes based on the fetchmail.rc file

briefly in the fetchmail.rc file

nonroot there is root here
someotheruserthere is localuserhere
anotheruserthere is thirdlinuxuserhere

etc ....


if you just have one user set the crontab up under that user if its multiple
users either setup a crontab for each... or a fetchmail.rc under root for all
users at once
