Fetchmail also supports not deleting the emails from the remote mailserver
(-k | --keep).

Probably the simpest solution is to use fetchmail
with lda set in fetchmailrc
Fetchmail will automatically delete on the server after successful local
delivery. I have fetchmail use the socket for dovecot-lmtp like so:
/etc/fetchmailrc: smtphost /var/spool/postfix/dovecot-lmtp
/etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf (or some included file):
service lmtp {
process_limit = 512
unix_listener /var/spool/postfix-local-deliver/dovecot-lmtp {
group = postfix
mode = 0660
user = postfix
}
}
to deliver locally. Very easy setup in fetchmailrc for several remote
mail-accounts allowing to deliver to the corresponding local mail
address. This has been working more or less unchanged for 20 years on my
box.
