No, fetchmail isn't telling you about mail.  There's three possibilities
that might be doing it though.  If you're using slackware out of the box
that narrows to one though.  In slackware you can put biff n in
.bash_login and that'll silence the beeping and new mail messages.
There's also newmail that may have to be silenced or wnewmail if they're
being used.  Check /etc/profile and look for new mail and you should find
what's telling you about new mail under that line.
