No.  Procmail is a mail delivery agent.  That is, it will apply a set of 
filters on the downloaded message to delete it / copy it to a 
particular mailbox or folder / forward it to a particular user etc

Tell it to fetch the mails from anywhere and it will do so. 

The fetchmail man pages make it easy though procmail may look 
like a hassle sometimes.
