You should be able to use fetchmail for yourself and leave everyone else's
mail alone.
At least with my ISP (mindspring) both my wife and I have our own mailboxes,
but only 1 actual account. I download my e-mail using fetchmail and it never
touches hers. I read my e-mail on a Linux system, she reads hers on an NT
system with Outlook.
You shouldn't need to set up a mail server unless you want to.

Doing something stupid always costs less (up front)
than doing something intelligent.
A conclusion is simply the place where you got tired of thinking.
If you're not having fun, you're not doing it right!
