You can run ppp-off as soon as fetchmail is done. Here's one way to do it:
#!/bin/sh
/usr/sbin/usernetctl ppp0 up
sleep 60
defroute=`/sbin/route -n | /bin/grep -c ^0.0.0.0`
if [ "$defroute" = "1" ] ; then
/usr/bin/fetchmail
else
echo "Connection failed."
fi
/usr/sbin/usernetctl ppp0 down
The script depends on your connection script setting a default route when
the connection is up. If you have a default route even when you're not
connected, then you'll have to figure out a different way to test the
connection.

If it's too good to be true, it's probably Linux.
