Leave fetchmail in place.  Add a POP or an IMAP server to the same machine.  That will allow you to access your mail.

I've used Cyrus in the past, but it can get tricky.  Try looking around the SuSE distro CDs to see what's available (or wait for someone else on this list to fill in where I'm ignorant).

So the should I leave the fetchmail server in place and add another POP 
server (recommendation) or will I bill able to run the POP server on the 
same server as fetch mail?
 
Thanks for sticking with me.  Sometime it's tough to get a grasp of 
email solutions.
