Apart from the other suggestions, fetchmail does support various kinds
of multidrop mailboxes (see fetchmail(1)) although clearly without the
envelope information from the SMTP server this doesn't always work
perfectly.

In your fetchmailrc, you could try something like:

poll yourisp.pop.net:
  user yourispusername with pass yourisppassword to fred lisa joe here 

where fred, lisa, and joe are your local users.
