No, that's just your local loopback-IP. If you connect to your ISP
you usually get a dynamic IP assigned - try "ifconfig" (you probably need
to do this as superuser) and look at the ppp? section.

Tried "fetchmail -v"?
When fetching mail, fetchmail queues the mail into the local mailqueue.
Before you are able to read your new mail, sendmail has to deliver the
local mail. "sendmail -q" will do just that for you.

poll pop.bob.com protocol POP3 user "bob" password "bobsun"
If your local username is not bob, you have have to use this format:
poll pop.bob.com protocol POP3 user "bob" password "bobsun" is localuser
