Yes it would.
I think the way to do what you want is something like (in .fetchmailrc):
poll mail.lrzone.com protocol pop3 user lrzone with pass xxxxxxx to order,
support, lrzone here
The "to" and "here" are the keys, they tell fetchmail that this is a
multidrop box. There is a section on multidrop boxes there and more info on
how to deal with them. This is from the selection from it that discribes
multidrop procedures:
-------------------------------------------
Here's what a simple retrieval configuration for a multi-
drop mailbox looks like:
poll pop.provider.net:
user maildrop with pass secret1 to golux hurkle=happy snark
here
This says that the mailbox of account `maildrop' on the
server is a multi-drop box, and that messages in it should
be parsed for the server user names `golux', `hurkle', and
`snark'. It further specifies that `golux' and `snark'
have the same name on the client as on the server, but
mail for server user `hurkle' should be delivered to
client user `happy'.

"... but if we were like Microsoft, every time they repainted the lines
on the road you would have to buy a new car. Occasionally your car would
die on the freeway for no reason, and you would just accept this,
restart and drive on. You could only have one person in the car at a
time, unless you bought "Car95" or "CarNT." But then you would have to
buy more seats. Macintosh would make a car that was powered by the sun,
was reliable, five times as fast, twice as easy to drive, but would only
run on 5% of the roads. The airbag system would say "are you sure?"
before going off."
