It depends on whether or not your Exchange system offers IMAP.
It is each to check by trying "telnet exchange_server imap". If
connection is refused, then they probably don't offer IMAP and your only
choice is probably Evolution (mail/evolution) with Ximian's connector
(http://www.ximian.com/products/connector/) or Exchange Web Access
through some web browser.

If you get telnet connection to their IMAP server, then there is problem
in your fetchmailrc. Mine is:
set daemon 180
poll exchange_server with proto IMAP
user my_username
[ end of ~/.fetchmailrc ]
