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
