As a different user (fetch_01, fetch_02...)

See the documentation:

       Only one daemon process is permitted per user; in daemon mode,
       fetchmail sets up a per-user lockfile to  guar-
       antee  this.   (You can however cheat and set the FETCHMAILHOME
       environment variable to overcome this setting,
       but in that case, it is your responsibility to make sure you
       aren't polling the same server with two processes
       at the same time.)

I don't exactly know why not, as long as you don't poll the same
account. It should be able to poll two different accounts from the same
server, I think.
