I had the same problem a while ago and it was solved by users of this
mailing list.

I use exim, so get exim to filter mail into folders for me. On my
system, I have a user 'sah1' so in my ~/.forward file I have this
section:

if $header_to: contains "sah1" 
then deliver sah1

You would need a section for each user:

# Exim filter 

if error_message then finish endif
logfile $home/eximfilter.log

if $header_to: contains "pedro" 
then deliver pedro

elif $header_to: contains "luiz"
then deliver luiz

endif

If you are not using exim, you can add something to your .fetchmailrc,
but I am not sure what. In my case I do not need to run fetchmail as
root, just as my normal self.
