The only way to do this is to use a smapp perl script using

    "libnet-imap-simple-perl" (Debian Package)

to get a list of packages and then add them dynamicaly to  the  command-
line.  This is, what I do if I have to migrate a  Winsuck  server  to  a
Linux one.

----[ '~/bin/get_imap_folders' ]----------------------------------------
#!/usr/bin/perl

use Net::IMAP::Simple;
use strict;

my $PASS="";
my $USER="";
my $HOST="";
my $SEPARATOR=",";

my $imap = Net::IMAP::Simple->new($HOST) || die
$Net::IMAP::Simple::errstr."\n";

unless($imap->login($USER, $PASS)){
        die "Login failed: " . $imap->errstr() . "\n";
}

my @mb=$imap->mailboxes;

foreach (@mb){
	print "$_$SEPARATOR";
}

$imap->quit;
------------------------------------------------------------------------

So the command

    fetchmail --folder $(get_imap_folders)

should do the trick.
