I think you're out of luck - fetchmail is not designed with this in
mind.  It expects to be the only thing accessing a mailbox.

I don't think there's really any way you can solve this with
fetchmail, unless your provider provides some way of accessing the
folders via POP.  The only solution would be to use fetchmail to
download all the messages to your own IMAP server and then give people
access to that instead.
