Only if you've managed to completely break your postfix setup.
Fetchmail doesn't lose emails (though see the section on Spam
Filtering - fetchmail *will* drop emails with the same message ID if
it's already seen them).

Depends on whether your ISP provides the required headers.  If the
email contains no details as to the user it was intended for then
you're out of luck.  This is documented in the man page under
"multi-drop".

Depends on the message headers you have to work with.

They're in the man page :)

If you could provide a sample header from an email (ideally one BCCd)
then I'm sure somebody can provide something a little more.
