You need to set up a local pop or imap (preferred) mail server.

Isn't that was fetchmail does?

No. Fetchmail gets the mail from the ISP. At that point, you can read it with the Linux mail program. However, e-mail clients, such as Mozilla, Outlook etc., require a pop or imap server, to get the mail from the Linux system.
