 It would be fine if the initscript could also launch fetchmail for users
 when they have a .fetchmailrc file in their home. This should maybe be
 configurable with an option in /etc/default/fetchmail.

Sorry, but we will not add this feature and I think it would 
be not acceptable if it would interact in home-directories 
of a users.
If you want to start fetchmail on startup use for example 
crontab with the @reboot option (man 5 crontab) or build a 
custom shell (or init) script, for example something like:

for i in /home/*/.fetchmailrc ; do
  su - -c nice fetchmail -d1800 $(echo $i | cut -f3 -d/)
done

Kind regard
Nico Golde

Hi,

when they have a .fetchmailrc file in their home. This should maybe be
