You might try something like this:

  poll mailserver1 proto pop3 username username1 password secret1 is
vernard here
  poll mailserver2 proto pop3 username username2 password secret2 is
vernard here

This would enable you to retrieve mail from 2 servers on a single
pass, each server using different usernames and passwords but
delivering to the local user 'vernard'.  I think this should work for
you.  Try reading the man page from about page 9 thru 12 or so.  You
also might try turning the log option on so you can see where the mail
is going, if anywhere.
